Chirality recognition of winding vine-shaped heterobiaryls with molecular asymmetry. Kinetic and dynamic kinetic resolution by Shi’s asymmetric epoxidation

Abstract The chirality of winding vine-shaped heterobiaryls with molecular asymmetry is recognized by a sugar-based chiral oxidant. Kinetic resolution of (±)-bisbenzoimidazole bearing an olefin moiety takes place with Shi’s asymmetric epoxidation to observe krel value up to ca. 35 affording the corr...
