Abstract
A phosphinite derivative that can be easily prepared in two steps from commercially available aminoindanol is an effective catalyst for enantioselective acylation of diols. For the asymmetric desymmetrization of meso-1,2-diols, the corresponding monoester was obtained in high enantioselectivity.
