(R)-(-)-MTPA ester from (-)-(P)-(39): prepared as described above; yield: 347 mg (96%).<br />

1 H NMR: δ = 7.6 (m, 3 H), 7.4 - 7.2 (m, 13 H), 5.04 (d, J = 13.5 Hz, 2 H), 4.80 (d,<br />

J = 13.5 Hz, 2 H), 3.50 (s, 6 H) ppm.<br />

19 F NMR: δ = -71.5 ppm.<br />

(R)-(-)-MTPA ester from (+)-(M)-(39): Prepared as described above; yield: 340 mg (94%).<br />

1 H NMR: δ = 7.6 (m, 3 H), 7.4 - 7.2 (m, 13 H), 4.95 (d, J = 13.3 Hz, 2 H), 4.80 (d,<br />

J = 13.3 Hz, 2 H), 3.45 (s, 6 H) ppm.<br />

19 F NMR: δ = -71.9 ppm.<br />

(±)-(PM)-2,2’-Dibromo-6,6’-bis(methoxymethyl)biphenyl (41): At 0 °C, a solution of<br />

(±)-(PM)-(6,6’-dibromobiphenyl-2,2’-diyl)dimethanol (39; 2.5 g, 6.7 mmol) in<br />

tetrahydrofuran (15 mL) was added to a suspension of sodium hydride (0.41 g, 17 mmol) in<br />

tetrahydrofuran (5.0 mL). After the end of hydrogen emission, iodomethane (0.5 mL, 1.1 g,<br />

8.0 mmol) was added at 25 °C to the reddish suspension which slowly faded to beige. Water<br />

(10 mL) was added and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and replaced by<br />

ethyl acetate (10 mL). Phases decantation and extraction with ethyl acetate (2 × 7 mL) gave,<br />

after drying and evaporation, an analytically pure colorless oil which resisted to all<br />

crystallization attempts; yield: 0.93 g (93%).<br />

1 H NMR: δ = 7.62 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 2 H), 7.54 (d, J = 7.8 Hz, 2 H), 7.32 (t,<br />

J = 7.9 Hz, 2 H), 4.09 (d, J = 13.0 Hz, 2 H), 4.02 (d, J = 13.0 Hz, 2 H), 3.26 (s,<br />

6 H) ppm.<br />

13 C NMR: δ = 139.6, 138.3, 131.9, 129.9, 126.5, 124.3, 72.6, 59.0 ppm.<br />

C16H16Br2O2 (400.11) calcd. C 48.03% H 4.03%<br />

(-)-(P)-2,2’-Dibromo-6,6’-bis(methoxymethyl)biphenyl (P-41): Prepared following the<br />

same protocol, starting from (-)-(P)-(6,6’-dibromobiphenyl-2,2’-diyl)dimethanol (39; 1.5 g,<br />

4.0 mmol); colorless prisms; m.p. 87 - 89 °C; [ ] 20<br />

D<br />

α = -38.9 (c = 1.0, ethanol); yield: 1.39 g<br />

(86%).
