Abstract

The O-3-pyrroline-1-carbonyl (O-Pyroc) group and 3-pyrrolinamide are useful removable protecting groups for the kinetic resolution of racemic α-hydroxycarboxylic acids, β-hydroxycarboxylic acids, 1,2-dicarboxylic acids, and 1,2-diols using the L -histidine-derived bifunctional catalysts. The Pyroc group can be easily introduced from Pyroc chloride. Selective deprotection of the Pyroc group and 3-pyrrolinamide can be carried out via DDQ oxidation followed by hydrolysis using sodium hydroxide, without epimerization.
