Highly efficient synthesis of enantiopure diacetylated C 2-symmetric diols by ruthenium- and enzyme-catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT)

Highly efficient synthesis of enantiopure diacetates of 2,4-pentanediol and 2,5-hexanediol starting from commercially available mixtures of the diols (dl/ meso ≈1:1) has been realized by combining a fast ruthenium-catalyzed epimerization with an enzymatic transesterification. The in situ coupling of these two processes produces the diacetates in high yield in > 99 % enantiomeric excess.
