“…In this study, we chose polysaccharide-based chiral solid materials as the OCSs, 11 which provided good results in our previous studies of DYASIN of planar chiral molecule. 9 However, as shown in entry 1 of Table 1, DYASIN of the 6,9-non-substituted lactone 2a (Z, Z 0 = H) with cellulose tris(3,5-dichlorophenylcarbamate) (OCS1) 11a in n-C 6 H 14 at 25 1C for 24 h afforded only the racemic form (50% ep) [mole fractions of the major enantiomer are described here as the enantiomeric purity (ep)] (entry 1). Compared to OCS1, amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (OCS2), 11b amylose tris[(S)-a-methylbenzylcarbamate] (OCS3), 11c cellulose tris(4-methylbenzoate) (OCS4), 11d and cellulose tris(3,5dimethylphenylcarbamate) (OCS5) 11e provided better results: they caused DYASIN, although the levels of stereocontrol were low [53% ep (P), 58% ep (P), 64% ep (M) and 63% ep (P), respectively] (entries 2-5).…”
