The reaction is limited to α-unsaturated β-hydroxy esters bearing a conjugated β-substituent. Enantioselectivities of up to 98% e.e. can be achieved. In the case of flavenyl-substituted β-hydroxy esters, both the dehydrated product as well as the re- maining enantiomer can be isolated. — (LEE, M. H.; CHOI, E. T.; KIM, D.; LEE, Y. M.; PARK*, Y.

β-Hydroxy Esters in Asymmetric Dehydration. — The kinetic resolution of the β-hydroxy esters (II), (IV), (VI) and (VIII) is smoothly achieved by asymmetric dehy-dration using a chiral prolinol-derived diamine ligand (I) in the presence of organozinc reagent. The reaction is limited to α-unsaturated β-hydroxy esters bearing a conjugated β-substituent. Enantioselectivities of up to 98% e.e. can be achieved. In the case of flavenyl-substituted β-hydroxy esters, both the dehydrated product as well as the re-maining enantiomer can be isolated. — (LEE, M. H.; CHOI, E. T.; KIM, D.; LEE, Y. M.; PARK*, Y.
