Abstract

The preparation of vicinal diols in up to 98% ee and 98% yield from the corresponding (±)-2, 2-disubstituted epoxides was achieved via an enantioconvergent two-step hydrolysis: Thus, enantioselective enzymatic hydrolysis of the (S)-epoxide proceeded with retention of configuration furnishing the corresponding (S)-diol. In a subsequent step, the remaining (R)- oxirane was hydrolyzed during workup under acid catalysis with complete inversion of ...
