Resolutions Flashcards
Catalytic kinetic resolutions
start with racemic mixture of enantiomers, place in chiral environment, one enantiomer reacts quicker
Jacobsen kinetic resolution of epoxides
alkene and mCPBA gives mixture of epoxides, using chiral Co(III) helps distinguish them
Reaction conditions for jacobsen if we want epoxide
slight excess of water, all of dashed reacted away, wedged converts and happens again
reaction conditions for jacobsens if we want diol
slightly less water, lose a bit of dashed as not enough water to ring open it all
dynamic resolutions
involves interconverting pairs of enantiomers
dynamic kinetic
one of interconverting pair reacts faster
thermo dynamic resolution
one of the interconverting pairs is more stable
