[1,1'-Binaphthalen]-2-ol

Description:
[1,1'-Binaphthalen]-2-ol, also known as 2-hydroxy-1,1'-binaphthyl, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which consists of two naphthalene rings connected by a single bond, with a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to one of the rings. This compound is notable for its chirality, as it can exist in two enantiomeric forms, making it significant in asymmetric synthesis and catalysis. It is typically a solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic naphthalene structure. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and esterification. Additionally, [1,1'-Binaphthalen]-2-ol is used in the synthesis of chiral ligands and catalysts in organic chemistry, particularly in enantioselective reactions. Its unique properties make it a valuable compound in both academic research and industrial applications.
