Lecture 11 - Kinetic Resolution (KR)

& Dynamic Kinetic Resolution (DKR)


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%.

Example (next page): a chiral lactone


Note: lactones are cyclic esters
Common (achiral) lactones:

-propiolactone

-butyrolactone

GBL

-valerolactone
