A systematic study for esterification procedures to the synthesis of BINOL diesters is described. Reaction conditions with trifluoracetic acid anhydride (TFAA) and 85% H3PO4 were selected as the best procedure to prepare enantiomerically pure (S)-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) diesters VIII to XI with almost quantitative yields and very short reaction times.
