Bifunctional C2-symmetric 7,7'-dihydroxymethyl-8,8'-biquinolyl (2) was synthesized in short steps via (i) Cu/Pd-catalyzed homo coupling of 7-methyl-8-bromoquinoline and (ii) Pd(II)-catalyzed double C-H oxidation. Axial chirality of 2 and its synthetic precursor 7,7'-dimethyl-8,8'-biquinolyl (3) is stable. Optically active 2 was obtained through separation of racemic 2 by chiral column HPLC or Pd(II)-catalyzed double C-H oxidation of optically active 3. The absolute stereochemistry of enantiomers of 2 and 3 was determined using the exciton chirality method.
