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.
虽然
醇类的动力学解析方法已经非常成熟,但对于
硫醇(即 R-SH)的高选择性直接催化动力学解析却没有类似的直接方法。本发明涉及一种解析
硫醇立体异构混合物的方法。特别是,本发明涉及无需酶的
硫醇对映体混合物的纯有机催化介导解析。本发明还公开了一些新型催化剂。此类催化剂可包括
金鸡纳
生物碱衍生分子。
