The enantioselective kinetic resolution of β-unfunctionalized primary alcohols with benzoyl chloride was carried out in the presence of a catalytic amount of a novel chiral 1,2-diamine derived from (S)-proline. Several valuable chiral 2-substituted propan-1-ols were obtained with good enantioselectivities. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the noncovalent interaction, such as CH−π interaction, is crucial for the enantioselectivity of the resolution. This study was conducted through an interplay between experiment and computation.
