Racemization Catalysts for DKR of sec-Alcohols

It should be highlighted that this catalyst has not only been employed in the racemization of sec-alcohols but also primary alcohols with an unfunctionalized stereo-genic center in the p-position [25]. In this case the metal complex causes a previous 

Ruthenium-catalyzed racemiza-tion of primary alcohols.
