Abstract

Enantiomerically pure compounds are of great importance in pharmaceutical, agrochemical and other fine chemical industries. In the last decades, many asymmetric transformations have been developed for the preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds by employing chiral transition-metal complexes, enzymes or organocatalysts. 1 However, direct resolution of racemic mixtures is still the most popular method to prepare enantiomerically pure compounds in ...
