The invention relates to the resolution of racemic mixtures, and in particular to the separation of enantiomers of chiral alcohols utilising recyclable chiral auxiliaries. The present invention also relates to a process for preparing these recyclable chiral auxiliaries using an enantiomerically pure alcohol.
Lewis acid mediated one-pot transformation of D-glucal in the presence of nucleophiles leads to the formation of racemic alpha-substituted alpha-hydroxymethyl furfuryl derivatives, versatile synthons for biologically active molecules. Transformations using O-, S-, C-, and N-nucleophiles could be achieved readily under mild and scalable conditions. Indium triflate proved to be the catalyst of choice in terms of conversion and regioselectivity,
