AbstractAn enantiopure piperidine, a key intermediate for the synthesis of (+)-tofacitinib, has been achieved in high optical purity (98% ee) from readily available crotyl alcohol. The key steps involved is a CoIII(salen)-OAc-catalyzed two stereocentered hydrolytic kinetic resolution of (±)-methyl-3-(oxiran-2-yl)butanoate.
