Abstract
Substitution of the tetrahydropyrimidine ring in enantioselective acyl transfer catalyst homobenzotetramisole (HBTM) 6 with methyl groups exerts a dramatic influence on its performance in the kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols. Syn-3-Methyl analogue of HBTM (9a) has proved to be superior to the parent compound in terms of catalytic activity, enantioselectivity, and synthetic accessibility.Entities:
