  7. Kinetic Resolution Basics * Calculation of selectivity factor (s) Where ee is enantiomeric excess of unreacted substrate Where ee is enantiomeric excess of product Benchmark Values s = 10…….....28% theoretical yield of unreacted substrate with ee > 99% s = 60……….46% theoretical yield of unreacted substrate with ee > 99% Vedejs, E.; Jure, M. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2005, 44, 3974.

  8. Enzymatic Kinetic Resolution 15 days, 33% conversion (95% ee) Advantages: high regio-, stereo-, and enantioselectivity, mild reaction conditions Disadvantages: lack of generality (defined substrate requirements), variable quantities of water/buffer/other cofactors necessary, protein denaturation and inhibition Langrand, G; Baratti, J; Buono, G; Triantaphylides, C. Tetrahedron Lett. 1986, 27, 29.

  11. Reactivity/Selectivity Dilemma DMAP as an Esterification Catalyst Reacts faster than alcohol with acylating agent (catalytic step) Acylammonium species is a better acylating agent than anhydride (asymmetric induction step) ~ rate enhancements on the order of 104 compared to the uncatalyzed reaction Chiral Acylating Agent ~preformation of acylating agent necessary
