(Chemical Equation Presented) Racemization wanted: The dynamic kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols can be achieved by a simple and readily available catalyst system. Substrate racemization is effected at room temperature by a combination of (racemic) 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (binol) or 2,2′-biphenol with AIMe3, and a lipase performs enantiospecific acylation (see scheme).
An amino alcohol ligand for highly enantioselective addition of organozinc reagents to aldehydes: Serendipity rules
Nugent, William A.
, p. 2133 - 2136 (2007/10/03)
(matrix presented) Amino alcohol 4 (or its enantiomer) is prepared in two simple steps. Commercial (1R,2S)-2-amino-1,2-diphenylethanol is dialkylated with bis(2-bromoethyl) ether. Subsequent hydrogenation over 5% Rh on alumina in the presence of morpholine unexpectedly stops at the hexahydro derivative 4. Amino alcohol 4 promotes the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes at room temperature in up to 99% enantiomeric excess.
Enzymic Resolution of (+/-)-Acyclic Alcohols via Asymmetric Hydrolysis of Corresponding Acetates by Microorganisms

Asymmetric hydrolysis of (+/-)-1-pentyl-2-propynyl and 1-pentyl-2-propenyl acetates by selected microorganisms produced chiral 1-octyn-3-ol and 1-octen-3-ol, respectively, with high optical purities and acetates of their antipodes.Enantioselectivity of microbial hydrolysis changed with the microorganisms used.Also, (+/-)-1-ethylhexyl acetate was asymmetrically hydrolyzed by microorganisms to give (S)-3-octanol and (R)-1-ethylhexyl acetate of relatively low optical purity and hydrolytic ratio, compared with those of (+/-)-1-pentyl-2-propynyl acetate.
