The new thio-binaphthol 2,2′thiobis(3,6-di-tert-butylnaphth-2-ol), and a phenolic analogue 2,2′thiobis(6-tert-butyl-4-methyl phen-2-ol) react with the Sm(III) aryloxide ancillary ligands, [Sm{1,1′-S(2-OC10H4Bu t2-3,6)2}(OC6H3Bu t2-2,6)]2 and [Sm{1,1′-S (2-OC6H2But-3-Me-5)2} (OC6H3But2-2,6)]2. Symmetric and asymmetric derivatives of both ligands have been prepared by careful tuning of the preparative procedure, the asymmetric naphtholate derivative, and the ligand from which it derives have both been structurally characterised. The asymmetric derivatives are found to be highly selective catalyst for diol desymmetrisation.
