title: erythro-1-Naphthyl-1-(2-piperidyl)methanol: synthesis, resolution, NMR relative configuration, and VCD absolute configuration.
abstract: The erythro isomer of 1-naphthyl-1-(2-piperidyl)methanol 4, an efficient chiral modifier for asymmetric heterogeneous hydrogenation, was obtained as the major isomer (95%) in two steps while the threo isomer can be obtained as the major isomer (67%) in three steps. erythro-4 and threo-4 were resolved on a CHIRALCEL OD-RH column. It has been shown by VCD that the diastereomer determined as the erythro by NMR was indeed the erythro and that the first eluted (-)-enantiomer on CHIRALCEL OD-R or -RH columns has the (1R,2S) configuration. The VCD studies identify the presence of at least five conformers in CDCl(3) solution. Moreover, this (-)-(1R,2S) absolute configuration found by VCD is consistent with the expected stereo-outcome of catalytic hydrogenation of pyruvate into lactate, which supported the (+)-(1S,2R) assignment.
