Abstract

Abstract Image

An efficient process for dynamic kinetic resolution of amines was developed by combining a ruthenium-catalyzed racemization with a lipase-catalyzed resolution. A variety of unfunctionalized primary amines were transformed into one enantiomer of the amide in high yield and high enantioselectivity.
