The factors responsible for the kinetic resolution of alcohols by chiral pyridine derivatives have been elucidated by measurements of relative rates for a set of substrates with systematically growing aromatic side chains using accurate competitive linear regression analysis. Increasing the side chain size from phenyl to pyrenyl results in a rate acceleration of more than 40 for the major enantiomer. Based on this observation a new catalyst with increased steric bulk has been designed that gives enantioselectivity values of up to s=250. Extensive conformational analysis of the relevant transition states indicates that alcohol attack to the more crowded side of the acyl-catalyst intermediate is favoured due to stabilizing CH-π-stacking interactions. Experimental and theoretical results imply that enantioselectivity enhancements result from accelerating the transformation of the major enantiomer through attractive non-covalent interactions (NCIs) rather than retarding the transformation of the minor isomer through repulsive steric forces.
