Abstract/OtherAbstract:
(R)-(+)-N-Methylbenzoguanidine ((R)-NMBG) was found to function as an efficient acyl-transfer catalyst for the kinetic resolution of racemic secondary benzylic alcohols in the presence of achiral carboxylic acids and pivalic anhydride. The use of a tertiary amine in this reaction is not necessary to attain good chemical yields of the products. It was determined that diphenylacetic acid could be employed as the most suitable acyl donor for achieving a high enantioselectivity for the kinetic resolution of the racemic secondary benzylic alcohols having normal aliphatic alkyl chains at the C-1 positions. On the other hand, a less-hindered carboxylic acid, such as 3-phenylpropanoic acid, functioned as a better acyl donor for the kinetic resolution of racemic secondary benzylic alcohols having branched aliphatic alkyl chains at the C-1 positions.
