Homobenzotetramisole-Catalyzed Kinetic Resolution of alpha-Aryl-, alpha-Aryloxy-, and alpha-Arylthioalkanoic Acids.
Effective kinetic resolution of alpha-aryl-, alpha-aryloxy-, and alpha-arylthioalkanoic acids has been achieved via in situ generation of their symmetrical anhydrides and enantioselective alcoholysis in the presence of homobenzotetramisole (HBTM) 3.
