An Efficient Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of N‐Heterocyclic 1,2‐Amino Alcohols

Abstract A chemoenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of N‐heterocyclic amino alcohols is described. Various lipases were studied as biocatalysts for the kinetic resolution of N‐heterocyclic 1,2‐amino alcohols. The influence of the support of the enzymes on the enantioselectivity in the resolution of different substrates is highlighted. Various 3‐acetoxypyrrolidines and ‐piperidines were obtained in high yield and high enantiomeric excess in efficient DKR reactions.
