Abstract

Selective inclusion of (S)-2-butanol and (S)-2-methyl-1-butanol from their racemic mixtures in 98.2 and 98.4% ee, respectively, is obtained with the robust 3D enantiopure hybrid organic-inorganic zeolite analogue [Cd(QA)2] (see scheme), which is formed by self-assembly of chiral quitenine (HQA) with Cd(OH)2.
