Kinetic resolution of racemic glycidol with phenols was achieved by using chiral amino alcohols as organocatalysts. Amino alcohols 5, 8 and 10 exhibited the highest enantioselectivities with p-cresol, phenol, and p-methoxyphenol by 63, 65, 58 % ee, respectively. The moderate enantioselectivities were observed with catalyst 9b towards all the nucleophiles (34-48 % ee). The ee values of the desired 3-aryloxy-1, 2-diols were determined by HPLC. This study presents an attractive tool for the synthesis of β-blockers and structurally complex molecules.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United Statesβ-Amino Alcohols3-Aryloxy-1,2-PropanediolsEpoxide Ring OpeningKinetic ResolutionOrganocatalystsArticle1426794802Q2Q2
