title: Homobenzotetramisole: an effective catalyst for kinetic resolution of aryl-cycloalkanols.
abstract: Homobenzotetramisole (HBTM), a ring-expanded analogue of the previously reported catalyst BTM, displays higher catalytic activity and a different structure-selectivity profile. It displays good enantioselectivities in kinetic resolution of secondary benzylic alcohols but is particularly effective for 2-aryl-substituted cycloalkanols.
