Mutual kinetic resolution: probing enantiorecognition phenomena and screening for kinetic resolution with racemic reagents.
Davies SG., Fletcher AM., Roberts PM., Thomson JE.
Enantiorecognition between a racemic reagent and a racemic substrate can be a valuable process in organic synthesis. This review highlights representative examples of this phenomenon and the use of mutual kinetic resolution as a method for screening of kinetic and/or parallel kinetic resolutions.
