Description
Summary:This study describes an organocatalytic kinetic resolution of racemic secondary nitroallylic alcohols (2) combined with simultaneous desymmetrization of prochiral cyclic anhydrides (1). The experimental results revealed that enantioselective alcoholysis of 3-substituted glutaric anhydrides afforded hemiesters (3) with high levels of enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) in the presence of cinchonidine-derived thiourea catalyst (IV). The highly optical enrichment (up to 95% ee) of (S)-nitroallylic alcohols (2) was recovered.
