trace of organic byproducts, as suggested by a correct mass balance and 1 H-NMR of the crude<br />
product, it was used without any purification for the preparation of derivatives in the racemic<br />
series. On the other hand, as the only impurities in the crude product were believed to be<br />
essentially boron salts, the analytically pure racemic material was utilized for the racemate<br />
resolution step.<br />

4.1.2 Racemate Resolution of 6,6’-Dibromobiphenyl-2,2’-diol<br />
Several methods were examined to resolve the axially chiral biphenol 31. The<br />
first trial relying on a well established protocol was the conversion of the biphenol into a<br />
cyclic phosphate derivative and subsequent treatment with cinchonine to separate the two<br />
diastereomeric salts<br />
[ ] 179 . Unfortunately, the low solubility of the biphenol-based cyclic<br />
phosphate rendered this protocol practically not viable. A promising method described by<br />
G. Delogu et al.<br />
[ ] 180 was also applied to biphenol 31. Its conversion to the corresponding<br />
diastereomeric dicarbonate, by means of (1R,2S,5R)-(-)-menthylchloroformate was<br />
effectively performed in good yield. However, the racemic mixture 32 did not show a<br />
sufficiently high difference in retention factor (Rf) to be properly resolved by column<br />
chromatography, even with several different eluent solvent systems and either on silica or<br />
basic alumina.<br />
