En Route to (<i>S</i>)-Selective Chemoenzymatic Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of Aliphatic Amines. One-Pot KR/Racemization/KR Sequence Leading to (<i>S</i>)-Amides

Abstract

A one-pot sequential process, involving a radical racemization and an enzymatic resolution, provides access to (S)-amides, from racemic amines, with ee and yields ranging from 78 to 94% and 58 to 80%, respectively.
