Popis: Primary alcohols with an unfunctionalized stereogenic center in the β-position undergo an enzyme- and metal-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR). The in situ racemization of the primary alcohol, required for the DKR, takes place via: (i) ruthenium-catalyzed dehydrogenation of the alcohol, (ii) enolization of the aldehyde formed, and (iii) ruthenium-catalyzed readdition of hydrogen to the aldehyde. The present method widens the scope of metal- and enzyme-catalyzed DKR, which has so far been limited to α-chiral alcohol and amine derivatives.
