title: Design and synthesis of novel C2-symmetric chiral piperazines and an application to asymmetric acylation of sigma-symmetric 1,2-diols.
abstract: [Structure: see text] A novel alicyclic chiral C2-symmetric piperazine, (S,S)-7, is designed and synthesized from L-proline. Benzoylation of a series of cyclic and acyclic meso-1,2-diols with a catalytic amount of (S,S)-7 and CuCl2 provided optically active monobenzoates with high enantioselectivity.
