A highly enantioselective isothiourea-catalyzed acylative kinetic resolution (KR) of acyclic tertiary alcohols has been developed. Selectivity factors of up to 200 were achieved for the KR of tertiary alcohols bearing an adjacent ester substituent, with both reaction conversion and enantioselectivity found to be sensitive to the steric and electronic environment at the stereogenic tertiary carbinol centre. For more sterically congested alcohols, the use of a recently-developed isoselenourea catalyst was optimal, with equivalent enantioselectivity but higher conversion achieved in comparison to the isothiourea HyperBTM. Diastereomeric acylation transition state models are proposed to rationalize the origins of enantiodiscrimination in this process. This KR procedure was also translated to a continuous-flow process using a polymer-supported variant of the catalyst.

A new strategy for the synthesis of tetronic acids with control over the regioselective introduction of substituents at the C-5 position has been developed. The construction of the densely functionalized quaternary carbon center within these molecules is of great importance. The key element for the proposed protocol was the utilization of O-carboxyanhydrides (OCA's) of optically active α-hydroxy acids, as promising bidentate protective/activating precursors. The structure of the new compounds was investigated by using NMR spectral data and X-ray structural analyses.
