Kinetic Resolutions of Esters Combined with Inversions

Kinetic Resolutions of Esters Combined with Inversions 

Scientists at Sumitomo developed this approach for the production of chiral insecticides [35, 61]. As discussed above, this approach involves several separate steps, an inversion replacing the racemisation that is normally necessary subsequent to a kinetic resolution. The advantage of this approach is that after the kinetic resolution no separation is necessary, since the reaction mixture is sub-
