Popis: Starting from R -configurated binaphthol the R -form of the title compound was readily prepared in two steps and characterized by X-ray structural analysis. It was used as the chiral ligand in the Ti-catalyzed asymmetric oxidation of methyl-p-tolylsulfide, the S -enantiomeric form of the sulfoxide being formed preferentially (ee = 86%).
