Abstract
We present here a highly efficient NHC-catalyzed kinetic resolution of a wide range of 1,1'-biaryl-2,2'-diols and amino alcohols to provide them in uniformly ≥99% ee. This represents the first highly enantioselective catalytic acylation of axially chiral alcohols. The aldehyde backbone that is incorporated into the chiral acyl azolium intermediate was found to have a significant effect on the enantioselectivity of the process.Entities:
