title: Kinetic resolution of N-acyl-thiolactams via catalytic enantioselective deacylation.
abstract: Methanolysis of N-acyl-thiazolidin-2-thiones and -oxazolidin-2-thiones in the presence of acyl transfer catalyst benzotetramisole (BTM) proceeds in a highly enantioselective fashion thus enabling kinetic resolution of these substrates.
