Herein we report a dramatic acceleration of the lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of atropisomeric 1,1'-biaryl-2,2'-diols by the addition of sodium carbonate. This result likely originates from the increased nucleophilicity of the phenolic hydroxyl group toward the acyl-enzyme intermediate. Under these conditions, various substituted <i>C</i> <sub>2</sub>-symmetric and non-<i>C</i> <sub>2</sub>-symmetric binaphthols and biphenols were efficiently resolved with ∼50% conversion in only 13-30 h w ...[more]
