Abstract

The preparation of a new optically active alcohol with a carboxylic function that allowed its attachment to an amine-functionalized insoluble polymer is described. Its first use as a polymer supported chiral auxiliary is demonstrated by asymmetric transformation of two racemic aryl propionic acids via ketene formation (95-96% ee).
