The highly enantioselective synthesis of p-anisoin was achieved through the benzoin condensation reaction using chiral NHC catalysts. The deracemization of racemic p-anisoin was efficiently performed by Viedma ripening under basic conditions. The handedness control of enantioselective crystallization could be achieved through the coexistence of optically active valine, due to the asymmetric transformation of p-anisoin with enantiomeric valine in the mother liquor.
The highly enantioselective synthesis of p-anisoin was achieved via the benzoin condensation of a prochiral p-anisaldehyde using achiral NHC catalysts such as vitamin B1. In this reaction, p-anisoin crystallized as a conglomerate, and the deracemization of racemic p-anisoin under basic conditions was efficiently performed by Viedma ripening. Although the handedness of the enantioselective crystallization could not be controlled by spontaneous crystallization, it could be controlled by the coexistence of a catalytic amount of optically active valine. It was clarified that this is due to the asymmetric transformation of p-anisoin with enantiomeric valine in the mother liquor.
