Novozym-435 (a form of Candida antarctica lipase B ) was found to be an effective biocatalyst for the kinetic resolution of a variety of racemic 1-ethenyl or ethynyl-substituted 2,3-allenols. The optically active 1-ethynyl-substituted 2,3-allenols can be subjected to Sonogashira coupling reactions and alkylations of terminal CC triple bonds leading to the formation of 2,3-allenols, which cannot be directly prepared by Novozym 435-catalyzed kinetic resolution probably due to the steric hindrance. |
