Abstract
Here we report a method for enantioenriching BINOL using a chiral auxiliary and an excited state proton transfer (ESPT) event. Regardless of the starting enantiomeric excess (ee), after irradiation the solution reaches a photostationary state whose ee is dependent solely on the identity of the chiral auxiliary group. The enantio-enriched BINOL is easily recovered by cleaving the auxiliary group in mild conditions.
