Catalytic asymmetric dehydration of β‐alkenyl‐ or alkynyl‐substituted β‐hydroxy esters by kinetic resolution has been investigated with five different chiral ligands 3 – 7 . The kinetic resolution of a variety of racemic β‐hydroxy tert ‐butyl esters in the presence of a prolinol chiral ligand and BrZnCH 2 CO 2 t Bu provided highly enantio‐enriched β‐hydroxy esters 9 – 22 with selectivity factors ranging from 11 to 59. In addition, the application of this asymmetric synthetic methodology to the preparation of enantio‐enriched flavene derivatives 23 – 29 is demonstrated. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
