Whilst methodologies for the Kinetic Resolution of alcohols are well established, no analogous direct methods exist for the highly selective, direct catalytic Kinetic Resolution of thiols (i.e., R-SH). The present invention relates to a method for resolving stereoisomeric mixtures of thiols. In particular, the present invention relates to purely organocatalytic mediated resolution of enantiomeric mixtures of thiols without the need for enzymes. Also disclosed are some novel catalysts. Such catalysts may comprise a cinchona alkaloid-derived moiety.
尽管醇的动力学分辨方法已经得到很好的建立,但并不存在类似的高度选择性、直接催化的巯基(即R-SH)的动力学分辨方法。本发明涉及一种用于分离巯基立体异构体混合物的方法。具体来说,本发明涉及纯有机催化介导的巯基对映体混合物的分辨,无需酶。还披露了一些新型催化剂。这些催化剂可能包括
奎宁生物碱衍生基团。
