摘要

Kinetic resolution of a series of benzyl alcohols bearing functional group on alpha-position catalyzed by (R)-benzotetramisole catalyst has been investigated. The competition between the cation-pi interaction of the aryl ring of the substrates with the catalyst and the cation-pi interaction of the functional group's pi-system with the catalyst led to the decrease of the stereo-selectivity of the reaction and the configuration change of the products.
