Abstract
Herein, we report a nonenzymatic kinetic resolution (KR) of α,β-unsaturated ketone-derived bromohydrins (up to s = 211) with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in the presence of a chiral Cu(II)-Box catalyst via the C-C bond cleavage of the fast reacting enantiomer. A one-pot synthesis-KR approach of the same has also been realized with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). Both protocols are found to be effective for a variety of substrates, leading to enantioenriched bromohydrins. The synthetic utility of this process has been demonstrated by exploring a new strategy to convert the resolved enantiomer to an optically active epoxide.
