Abstract
Abstract A series of new compounds, (1R,2R)-1-(1′,8′-naphthalimide)-2-aminocyclohexane 1 and its 4′-derivatives 2 and 3 derived from (1R,2R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane have been synthesized conveniently and efficiently. 1H NMR spectroscopy was employed to investigate their enantiodiscriminating ability. Compared with α-phenylethylamine, a commercially available chiral solvating agent (CSA), these compounds exhibited better enantiodiscriminating ability toward the chiral carboxylic acids we had chosen, distinguishing them as promising and practical CSAs.
