E. Hoft et al., KINETIC RESOLUTION OF CHIRAL HYDROPEROXIDES VIA SHARPLESS EPOXIDATION, Journal fur praktische Chemie, Chemiker-Zeitung, 336(6), 1994, pp. 534-537
The kinetic resolution of tertiary hydroperoxides via catalytic Sharpl
ess epoxidation with various allylic alcohols has been investigated. B
y using 1-cyclohexyl-1-phenylethyl hydroperoxide an enantiomeric exces
s (e.e.) of up to 29 % of the resolved hydroperoxide has been observed
at a consumption of the racemic hydroperoxide of nearly 50 %. The e.e
. can be increased, however, only by raising the hydroperoxide consump
tion.
