Abstract

Kinetic resolution of pyridyl alcohols has been achieved using copper(II)(borabox)-catalyzed benzoylation. Selectivity factors (k_rel) of up to 125 have been observed and application to the synthesis of chiral pyridyl phosphine ligands is described.

Key words

kinetic resolution - asymmetric catalysis - copper - bisoxazoline ligands - pyridines

Benzoyl chloride has been identified as the optimal acylating reagent for kinetic resolution of 1,2-diols. See reference 6b.

Conversions and enantioselectivities were determined using ee values obtained from chiral HPLC of the products(pr) and starting materials(sm); conversion (C) = ee_sm/(ee_sm + ee_pr). S = ln[1-C(1 + ee_pr)]/ln[1 - C(1 - ee_pr)] = ln[(1 - C)(1 - ee_sm)]/ln[(1 - C)(1 + ee_sm)], see:
