Various optically active 2-hydroxyamide derivatives are produced based on the kinetic resolution of racemic 2-hydroxyamides with a diphenylacetyl component and (<i>R</i>)-benzotetramisole ((<i>R</i>)-BTM), a chiral acyl-transfer catalyst, via asymmetric esterification and acylation. It was revealed that a tertiary amide can be used with this novel protocol to achieve high selectivity (22 examples; <i>s</i>-value reaching over 250). The resulting chiral compounds could be transformed into other u ...[more]
