In this study, a novel asymmetricsynthesis of all-carbon quaternary stereogeniccentres is developed by the connection of three prochiral or achiral components--conjugated enones, organometallic compounds and vinyl esters--at the...
with a lipase produced the regio- and enantioconvergent transformation of racemic allyl alcohols (1 or 2) into optically active allyl esters. In this system, the vanadium compounds catalyzed the continuous racemization of the alcohols along with the transposition of the hydroxyl group, while the lipase effected the chemo- and enantioselective esterification to achieve the dynamickineticresolution.
V for resolution: A new oxovanadium catalyst (V‐MPS; see scheme) immobilized in the pores of mesoporous silica has been developed. The combined use of V‐MPS and lipases achieved the dynamickineticresolution of a wide range of racemic alcohols (1 or 2) to produce optically active esters 3 in high chemical and optical yields. The paired catalysts retained high catalytic activity when reused up to six
