The deracemization of sec‐alcohols via enantioconvergent processes is of high interest in order to overcome the 50 % yield limitations of kinetic resolution. As enantioconvergent processes are characterized by two reactions with one crossing the plane of symmetry, one of these reactions has to proce...
