Enzymatic resolution, desymmetrization, and dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation of 1,3-cycloalkanediols
An efficient desymmetrization of cis-1,3-cyclohexanediol to (1S,3R)-3-(acetoxy)-1-cyclohexanol ((R,S)-2a) was performed via Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB)-catalyzed transesterification, in high yield (up to 93%) and excellent enantioselectivity (ee's
A New and Efficient Esterification Reaction via Mixed Anhydrides by the Promotion of a Catalytic Amount of Lewis Acid
In the presence of a catalytic amount of Lewis acid, various carboxylic esters or S-phenyl carbothioates are prepared in excellent yields by the respective reactions of equimolar amounts of silyl carboxylates and alkyl silyl ethers or phenyl silyl sulfides with 4-trifluoromethylbenzoic anhydride.
A New and Efficient Method for the Preparation of S-Phenyl Carbothioates via Mixed Anhydrides Using Active Titanium(IV) Salts
In the presence of a catalytic amount of titanium(IV) salt, various S-phenyl carbothioates are prepared in excallent yields by the reaction of nearly equimolar amounts of silyl derivatives of carboxylic acids and benzenethiols with p-trifluoromethylbenzoic anhydride.
