Herein, we report the preparation of enantiomerically pure forms of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-ol (1), chroman-4-ol (2), thiochroman-4-ol (3), 1-(furan-2-yl) ethanol (5) and 1-(thiophen-2-yl) ethanol (6), through a kinetic resolution catalysed by Candida antarctica lipase B/Na2CO3 hydrolysis sequence in organic media. The (R)-furnished alcohols and the (S)-remained acetates are recovered enantiopures (ee?>99%, E???200, Conv = 50%). Those ideal enzymatic kinetic resolution (EKRs) are well incorporated to the Mitsunobu inversion protocol in a one pot procedure to give (S)-heterocyclic acetates (1a–3a) in good to high enantiomeric excess (88%–92% ee). Whilst, the (S)-heteroaromatic acetates (5a and 6a) are given with moderate enantiomeric excess (51%–62% ee). All the (S)-acetates are given in good isolated chemical yields (>80%) allowing to overcome the maximum of 50% yield which could be usually reached in a regular kinetic resolution processes.
Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of Alcohols by Enantioselective Silylation Enabled by Two Orthogonal Transition-Metal Catalysts

A nonenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution of acyclic and cyclic benzylic alcohols is reported. The approach merges rapid transition-metal-catalyzed alcohol racemization and enantioselective Cu-H-catalyzed dehydrogenative Si-O coupling of alcohols and hydrosilanes. The catalytic processes are orthogonal, and the racemization catalyst does not promote any background reactions such as the racemization of the silyl ether and its unselective formation. Often-used ruthenium half-sandwich complexes are not suitable but a bifunctional ruthenium pincer complex perfectly fulfills this purpose. By this, enantioselective silylation of racemic alcohol mixtures is achieved in high yields and with good levels of enantioselection.

Unification of oxidation and reduction in a one-pot deracemization process has great significance in the preparation of enantioenriched organic molecules. However, the intrinsic mutual deactivation of oxidative and reductive catalysts and the extrinsic incompatible reaction conditions are unavoidable challenges in a single operation. To address these two issues, we develop a supported dual catalysts system to overcome these conflicts from incompatibility to compatibility, resulting in an efficient one-pot redox deracemization of secondary alcohols. During this transformation, the TEMPO species onto the outer surface of silica nanoparticles catalyze the oxidation of racemic alcohols to ketones, and the chiral Rh/diamine species in the nanochannels of the thermoresponsive polymer-coated hollow-shell mesoporous silica enable the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones to chiral alcohols. To demonstrate the general feasibility, a series of orthogonal oxidation/ATH cascade reactions are compared to prove the compatible benefits in the elimination of their deactivations and the balance of the cascade directionality. As presented in this study, this redox deracemization process provides various chiral alcohols with enhanced yields and enantioselectivities relative to those from unsupported dual catalysts systems. Furthermore, the dual catalysts can be recycled continuously, making them an attractive feature in the application.
