Abstract:

An improved procedure for the preparation of 1,4-bis(9-O-quininyl) phthalazine[(QN)2PHAL] and the rudimentary application of (QN)2PHAL to the catalytic asymmetric dihydroxylation of olefins were described. (QN)2PHAL was synthesized in a good yield by the reaction of quinine with 1,4-dichlorophthalazine in the presence of K2CO3 and KOH in refluxing toluene. The asymmetric dihydroxylation of four olefins with (QN)2PHAL as the chiral ligand showed an excellent enantioselectivity and activity.

Key words: 1,4-Bis(9-O-quininyl)phthalazine, Asymmetric dihydroxylation, Chiral vicinal diol
