The purpose of (S)-(-)-1,1'-Bi-2-naphthol, a chiral ligand that appears as a white to light yellow crystal powder, is to serve as an effective component in the formation of chiral catalysts. When combined with titanium(IV) isopropoxide, it forms the (S)-(-)-BINOL-Ti complex, which is instrumental in catalyzing several asymmetric chemical reactions. These include the asymmetric addition of alkynylzinc to unactivated ketones, the enantioselective ring-opening of meso-stilbene oxide and cyclohexene oxide using anilines, and the asymmetric aryl transfers from triaryl(tetrahydrofuran)aluminum reagents to various ketones. Additionally, it can interact with a zirconium(IV) isopropoxide isopropanol complex to create a chiral Lewis acid catalyst, facilitating the enantioselective allylation of aldehydes with allyltributyltin.
