title: Kinetic resolution of sec-alcohols using a new class of readily assembled (S)-proline-derived 4-(pyrrolidino)-pyridine analogues.
abstract: We report the development of a new class of readily prepared chiral 4-(pyrrolidino)-pyridine catalysts capable of exploiting both van der Waals (pi) and H-bonding interactions, thus allowing remote chiral information to stereochemically control the kinetic resolution of sec-alcohols.
