title: Highly efficient route for enantioselective preparation of chlorohydrins via dynamic kinetic resolution.
abstract: Dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of various aromatic chlorohydrins with the use of Pseudomonas cepacia lipase (PS-C "Amano" II) and ruthenium catalyst 1 afforded chlorohydrin acetates in high yields and high enantiomeric excesses. These optically pure chlorohydrin acetates are useful synthetic intermediates and can be transformed to a range of important chiral compounds.
