title: Air-stable racemization catalyst for dynamic kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols at room temperature.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A novel racemization catalyst was synthesized for the dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of alcohols with a lipase at room temperature in the air. Furthermore, a polymer-supported derivative was also synthesized and tested as a recyclable catalyst for the aerobic DKR of alcohols.
