The non-enzymatic acylative kinetic resolution of challenging aryl–alkenyl (sp2vs. sp2) substituted secondary alcohols is described, with effective enantiodiscrimination achieved using the isothiourea organocatalyst HyperBTM (1 mol %) and isobutyric anhydride. The kinetic resolution of a wide range of aryl–alkenyl substituted alcohols has been evaluated, with either electron-rich or naphthyl aryl substituents in combination with an unsubstituted vinyl substituent providing the highest selectivity (S=2–1980). The use of this protocol for the gram-scale (2.5 g) kinetic resolution of a model aryl–vinyl (sp2vs. sp2) substituted secondary alcohol is demonstrated, giving access to >1 g of each of the product enantiomers both in 99:1 e.r.

We describe one synthesis of (S)-fenfluramine and several syntheses of its precursors (R)- and (S)-1-(meta-trifluoromethylphenyl)propan-2-ols.They were obtained from the asymmetric epoxidation of the primary allylic alcohol 5 and from the kinetic resolution with asymmetric epoxidation of teh secondary allylic alcohol 6.
