Abstract
Ex-changing places: a highly enantioselective desymmetrization of 1,2-diols has been developed in which the catalyst utilizes reversible covalent bonding to the substrate to achieve both high selectivity and rate acceleration (see scheme, PMP=pentalmethylpiperidine, TBS=tert-butyldimethylsilyl). Induced intramolecularity is responsible for the enhanced rate, thus allowing the reaction to be performed at room temperature.Entities:
