Dilithiation followed by bis-stannylation with Me3SnCl of (R)-2,2′-dibromo-1,1′-binaphthyl (2) and the subsequent redistribution reaction of resulting (R)-2,2′-bis(trimethylstannyl)-1,1′-binaphthyl (6) with SnCl4 gave the novel chiral Lewis acid catalyst (R)-2,2′-bis(dichloromethylstannyl)-1,1′-binaphthyl (4). The catalytic properties of 4 and its triflate 5 were investigated as the first chiral bis-metallic binaphthyl catalyst.
