Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Organic Physical Sciences Science & Technology
The parallel kinetic resolution of racemic 1-phenylethanol using an equimolar combination of quasienantiomeric 2-arylpropionic and butanoic acids mediated by a N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC)/3,5-lutidine coupling is discussed. The levels of diastereoselectivity were high leading to separable quasi-enantiomeric esters in good yield. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
