Bb. Lohray et V. Bhushan, KINETIC RESOLUTION OF RACEMIC ALLYLIC ACETATES BY ASYMMETRIC DIHYDROXYLATION (ADH) PROCESS - AN INDICATION OF PI PI INTERACTION, Tetrahedron letters, 34(24), 1993, pp. 3911-3914
Kinetic resolution of several racemic secondary allylic acetates have
been examined using osmium tetroxide-cinchona alkaloid as chiral catal
yst. The unexpected results have been rationalized with the help of mo
del based on pi-pi interaction in the transition state apart from the
matching and mismatching of the substrate and the catalyst.
