A spontaneous dynamic kinetic resolution of 8-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline
1 was observed in the presenceof
Candida antarctica Lipase B, in which a >60% yield of(
R)-acetamide [(
R)-
2] was isolated from the racemic amine.The spontaneous formation of ketone
3, followed by acondensation/hydrolysis sequence with the remaining (
S)-amine
1, via enamine
4, provides the necessary racemizationpathway.
