Abstract

In recent years, remarkable advances have been made in the development of chiral nucleophilic catalysts for the kinetic resolution of racemic alcohols via acylations. Fu,1 Fuji,2 Oriyama,3 Spivey,4 and others5 designed and synthesized tertiary amine-based nucleophilic catalysts, with which the kinetic resolution of racemic alcohols has been successfully achieved. On the other hand, Vedejs6 reported that chiral phosphines could also serve as efficient ...
