An extremely efficient acylative kinetic resolution ofd,l‐1,2‐diols in the presence of only 0.5 mol% of binaphthyl‐based chiralN,N‐4‐dimethylaminopyridine was developed (selectivity factor of up to 180). Several key experiments revealed that hydrogen bonding between thetert‐alcohol unit(s) of the catalyst and the 1,2‐diol unit of the substrate is critical for accelerating the rate of monoacylation and achieving high enantioselectivity. This catalytic system can be applied to a wide range of substrates involving racemic acyclic and cyclic 1,2‐diols with high selectivity factors. The kinetic resolution ofd,l‐hydrobenzoin andtrans‐1,2‐cyclohexanediol on a multigram scale (10 g) also proceeded with high selectivity and under moderate reaction conditions: (i) very low catalyst loading (0.1 mol%); (ii) an easily achievable low reaction temperature (0 °C); (iii) high substrate concentration (1.0 M); and (iv) short reaction time (30 min).
