(R)-(-)-6,6′-Dibromo-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol

This compound is widely applied as a chiral ligand and building block in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective reactions and the synthesis of optically active compounds, due to its rigid binaphthyl structure and well-defined chirality. (R)-(-)-6,6′-Dibromo-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol appears as a light yellow crystalline solid, insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane, ether, and ethanol.
