X-ray crystallographic studies of racemic and optically active 4, 4’-dimethyl-1, 1’-binaphthyl

In contrast to 1,1'-binaphthyl, racemic 4,4'-dimethyl-1,1'-binaphthyl does not undergo spontaneous resolution upon heating from room temperature to just below the melting point. Optically active dimethyl binaphthyl may be obtained by seeding the racemic melt site optically active naph...
