Abstract

Enantiopure (S)-betaxolol was prepared in an extremely simple and practical way using hydrolytic kinetic resolution of a terminal epoxide by Jacobsen's catalyst. High enantiomeric purity (99% ee) has been achieved and the method is amenable to industrial scale-up. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
