Phenolytic kinetic resolution of azido and alkoxy epoxides

摘要

Disclosed herein is a single step catalytic process for the production of enantiomerically pure α-Aryloxy-α′-Azido/Alkoxy alcohols of formula (A). The invention, in particular discloses phenolytic kinetic resolution of racemic anti and syn azido/alkoxy epoxides to generate two stereocentres of high optical purities of formula (A).;
