Summary of Acylations Using B Catalysts osphabicylooctane catalysts can be effectively used for a number of kinetic resolutions of benzylic alcohols. Separation of enantiomers of these catalysts is not exceptionally difficult, done through use of lactate esters and recrystallizations Enantioselectivities are exceptional, with values of s = 380 Selectivites high enough to warrant correction for %ee of catalyst Synthesis is quite air-sensitive at parts, yields of the alkylations are low, and the catalyst must be stored as the borane complex, due to interconversion of diastereomers at phosporus The full paper only covered the use of a few catalysts Will this replace using enzymes for kinetic resolutions? ot yet, I think
