19. Extension of the desymmetrization procedure to the hindered 1,3-diphenyl-2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diol was briefly explored. Reaction of the diol with benzoic anhydride and catalyst 9 gave the monobenzoate with promising enantioselectivity (86.6% ee). However, the reaction was slow even at room temperature (22% conversion after 8 h). Experiments at lower temperatures were precluded by the limited solubility of the diol as well as by the low reactivity.
