“…The determination of enantiopurity via NMR spectroscopy required the presence of a chiral auxiliary to convert the enantiomers into diastereomers. The most commonly used chiral auxiliaries are chiral solvating agents {CSAs like tyrosine-modied pillar [5] arenes, R-VAPOL-phosphoric acid, organic-soluble acids, benzene tricarboxamide-based hydrogelators, BINOL phosphoric acid, Kagan's amides, roof-shape amines, BINOL and its derivatives}, [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] chiral derivatizing agents {CDAs like D-[Ir(ppy) 2 (MeCN) 2 ](PF 6 ) (ppy is 2-phenylpyridine), a-methoxy-aphenylacetic acid (MPA), a-methoxy-a-triuoromethylphenylacetic acid (MTPA) and BINOL}, [31][32][33][34][35][36] chiral lanthanide shi reagents {CLSRs like [Eu(tfc) 3 ], [Eu(hfc) 3 ], [Sm(tfc) 3 ], and [(R)-Pr(tfc) 3 ]}. [37][38][39] Among all the chiral auxiliaries reported for NMR chiral recognition, BINOL and its derivatives represent a useful auxiliary because of their direct utilization as a CSA.…”
