This document discusses kinetic resolution and dynamic kinetic resolution for separating enantiomers from a racemic mixture. Kinetic resolution uses a chiral reagent or catalyst that causes one enantiomer to react faster, achieving a maximum yield of 50%. Dynamic kinetic resolution also uses a chiral reagent to selectively remove one enantiomer through reaction. It then causes racemization of the unwanted enantiomer in situ, allowing more of it to react and achieve a maximum yield of 100%. An example is provided of applying these methods to separate enantiomers of a chiral lactone.

Kinetic Resolution A single enantiomer can be separated from a racemic mixture if the other enantiomer reacts faster with a chiral reagent or catalyst. The maximum yield is 50%. Dynamic Kinetic Resolution A single enantiomer can be removed from a racemic mixture if it reacts faster than the other enantiomer with a chiral reagent or catalyst. Racemisation of the unwanted isomer occurs in situ to give more of the reactive isomer. The maximum yield is 100%.
