Racemic sec-alkyl iodides and bromides are kinetically resolved at low temperature (—60 to—70) with a chiral lithiooxazoline, 5. The results furnish optically active halides 2 enriched in the R enantiomer in the range of 30-49% enan-tiomeric purity. The concurrently formed alkylated oxazoline 3 after hydrolysis, affords 3-alkylalkanoic acids 4 also enriched in the R enantiomer and possessing 30-47% enantiomeric purity. This technique allows the establishment of absolute configurations for sec-alkyl halides and 3-substituted carboxylic acids, without the need for any optically active materils other than the chiral oxazoline reagent. In severalcases, the method demonstrates the ability to predict the maximum rotation of enan-tiomeric alkyl halides or carboxylic acids provided one of the two are reliably known.The preferential reaction of a chiral reagent, eg,(—)-(R), with a racemic substrate (±)-A such that only one of the enantiomers in the racemate is affected is generally termed a kinetic resolution. The process depends upon (—)-R displaying chiral recognition so that it has the ability to distinguish between the enantiomeric forms of a racemic mixture. Kinetically this means that the relative rate con-stants, k\and &2, are sufficiently different that the diastereomeric transition states are reached at different rates and hence the productsfrom each pathway are formed in unequal amounts. This would also result in one of the enan-tiomers, A, being recovered in excess at the end of the reac-tion. The extent of this excess of enantiomeric recovery will depend upon the (7 of the competing pathways. 1
