Abstract
A Ru II-chiral amine complex has accomplished oxidative resolution of the 2-cyclopentene-1-ols having a bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene background to afford the cyclopentenones and the cyclopentenols both in good to excellent optical and chemical yields by an asymmetric hydrogen transfer reaction. The hydrogen transfer occurred selectively at the allylic methine hydrogen even though allylic methylene hydrogens are present at the same relative position.
