37. Buchwald and co-workers observed that the efficiency of the dynamic kinetic resolution of 3,5-dialkyl cyclopentenones can be improved by increasing the reaction temperature, presumably via acceleration of the racemization relative to the enantioselective transformation of 3,5-dialkyl cyclopentenones; see ref 10(a).
