NONENZYMATIC ENANTIOSELECTIVE ACYLATION OF RACEMIC SECONDARY ALCOHOLS CATALYZED BY A SNX(2)-CHIRAL DIAMINE COMPLEX

摘要

Kinetic resolution of racemic secondary alcohols has been achieved by the reaction with benzoyl halide in the presence of a SnX(2)-chiral diamine complex to afford the corresponding benzoate in good to excellent enantioselectivities. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd [References: 23]
