In this work, enantiopure 1,1’-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) derivatives and carboxylic acids were evaluated as chiral solvating agents (CSAs) in the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chiral discrimination of primary amines. Among the CSAs screened, the readily available (+)-BINOL revealed a simple and rapid chiral auxiliary for 1H NMR chiral discrimination. The procedure required few minutes, assigning of the absolute configuration. The protocol was improved using the 1H pure shift pulse sequence for overcrowded alkyl primary amines due to the absence of JHH couplings. The 1H pure shift NMR experiment and the readily available (+)-BINOL chiral auxiliary can be used for routine chiral discrimination analysis of complex NMR spectra.
