Crystallization-induced secondary selection from a tandem driven dynamic combinatorial resolution process

Crystallization-induced secondary selection from a tandem driven dynamic combinatorial library is presented. In a one-pot experiment, an initial nitroaldol equilibrium was kinetically driven by a tandem reaction resulting in a subsequent dynamic library of diastereoisomers. This library was then further driven by a phase change, resulting in amplification and isolation of a highly diastereomerically enriched and synthetically interesting isoindolinone.
