Dynamic kinetic resolution of dehydrocoronamic acid
Dehydrocoronamic acid can be racemised by dehydration of an N-acyl derivative to an azlactone, which undergoes facile racemisation. For the N-trifluoroacetyl derivative, the racemisation process was combined with an enzymatic resolution, to achieve a dynamic kinetic resolution process by which the racemate can be converted to either enantiomer.
