Herein we report on the development and application of chemoenzymatic Dynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Transformation (DYKAT) of α-substituted β-hydroxyketones (β-HKs), using Candida antartica lipase B (CALB) as transesterification catalyst and a ruthenium complex as epimerization catalyst. An operationally simple protocol allows for an efficient preparation of highly enantiomerically enriched α-substituted β-oxoacetates. The products were obtained in yields up to 95 % with good diastereomeric ratios. ...[more]
