Abstract

(S)-(+)-N, N'-Dicyclohexyl-O-(1-methylheptyl) isourea [(S)-2] reacts with acetic acid in cyclohexane to give (R)-(—)-(1-methylheptyl) acetate [(R)-3] with 100% inversion of configuration. Reaction of isourea (R)-2 with phenol proceeds also with inversion of configuration (99.8%) yielding (S)-(+)-(1-methylheptyl) phenyl ether [(S)-4] as the main product; optically active 2-and 4-(1-methylheptyl) phcnols [(S)-5] and [(S)-6], respectively, ...
