Description
Summary:A novel special designed, stable, and recyclable chiral ligand bearing a quaternary carbon was developed for chemical dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of free <i>C,N</i>-unprotected racemic &#945;-amino acids via Schiff base intermediates. This method furnishes high yields with excellent enantioselectivity, has a broad substrate scope, and uses operationally simple and convenient conditions. The present chemical DKR is a practical and useful method for the preparation of enantiopure &#945;-amino acids.
