Chemoenzymatic Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of Primary Benzylic Amines using Pd0‐CalB CLEA as a Biohybrid Catalyst.

Herein, we report on the use a biohybrid catalyst consisting of palladium nanoparticles immobilized on cross‐linked enzyme aggregates of lipase B of Candida antarctica (CalB CLEA) for the dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of benzylic amines. A set of amines were demonstrated to undergo an efficient DKR and the recyclability of the catalysts was studied. Extensive efforts to further elucidate the structure of the catalyst are presented.
