Abstract

Kinetic resolution of γ-and β-trimethylsilyl secondary allylic alcohols proceeds with very large and synthetically satisfactory rate differences for the two enantiomers, respectively, thus providing a convenient and widely applicable method for preparation of various kinds of homochiral compounds.
