The residue obtained after evaporation of the combined mother liquor was decomposed the<br />

same way. The whole procedure was then applied to the enriched (M)-(+)-(31) enantiomer<br />

obtained, using (1S,2S)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane. Filtration of the complex and decomposition<br />

afforded colorless prisms; m.p. 178 - 180 °C; [ ] 20<br />

(±)-(PM)-2,2’-Dibromo-6,6’-bis(methoxymethoxy)biphenyl (34): A solution of<br />

6,6’-dibromobiphenyl-2,2’-diol (31; 26 g, 76 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (75 mL) was added<br />

dropwise to a 60% suspension of sodium hydride in mineral oil (6.1 g, 0.15 mol) in<br />

tetrahydrofuran (75 mL) at 25 °C. After 30 min, a solution of freshly prepared chloromethyl<br />

methyl ether (13 mL, 13 g, 0.17 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (35 mL) was added dropwise at 0 °C.<br />

After the end of addition, the reaction mixture was warmed up to 25 °C and water was added<br />

(0.10 L). Phases were decanted, the aqueous one was extracted with ethyl acetate (2 × 75 mL)<br />

and the combined organic layers were dried with sodium sulfate. After removal of the solvent,<br />

the white solid left was recrystallized from methanol to afford tiny colorless platelets; m.p.<br />

153 - 155 °C; yield: 30.8 g (94%).<br />
