Abstrakt: A copper-mediated deracemization of the vaulted biaryl ligands VANOL and VAPOL can be readily achieved in the presence of (−)-spartiene. The optimal procedure involves the in situ generation of copper(II) and leads to the reproducible formation of (S)-VANOL and (S)-VAPOL in greater than 99% ee from the racemates. This method is superior to existing procedures for BINOL (92% ee).
