A new method was developed to assign the absoluteconfiguration of molecules using kinetic resolution catalysts. Secondary alcohols were acylated in the presence of Birman’s S-HBTM and R-HBTM catalysts, and the fast-reacting catalyst was identified by NMR analysis of the reaction mixture. A mnemonic was developed to assign configuration based on the identity of the fast-reacting catalyst. The method

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 kineticresolution 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.

Homobenzotetramisole (HBTM), a ring-expanded analogue of the previously reported catalyst BTM, displays higher catalytic activity and a different structure-selectivity profile. It displays good enantioselectivities in kinetic resolution of secondary benzylic alcohols but is particularly effective for 2-aryl-substituted cycloalkanols.
