Herein we report an efficient kinetic resolution of alkyl allylic alcohols enabled by an iridium-catalyzed enantioselective alkynylation of alkyl allylic alcohols with potassium alkynyltrifluoroborates. A wide range of chiral 1,4-enynes...

We report herein a novel approach involving optical resolution of (±)-1,16-dihydroxytetraphenylene (DHTP) by chiral gold(III) complexation. This method features several key advantages, i.e., recyclability of the chiral resolution reagents, feasibility...
