Highly enantioselective phase-transfer-catalyzed alkylation of tert-butyl 2-benzoyloxy-3-oxobutanoate was realized by the use of an N-spiro chiral quaternary ammonium salt, as a complementary approach to the asymmetric hydroxylation of alpha-alkyl-beta-keto esters. The synthetic utility of the alkylated compounds is highlighted by the diastereoselective reduction and alkylation of the remaining ketone moiety to give various enantiomerically enriched congested 2,3-dihydroxycarboxylic acid esters.
通过使用 N-螺环手性季铵盐,实现了叔丁基 2-苯甲酰氧基-3-氧代丁酸酯的高对映选择性相转移催化烷基化,这是对α-烷基-β-酮酯不对称羟化的补充方法。通过剩余酮部分的非对映选择性还原和烷基化,所得到的烷基化化合物具有很高的合成实用性,可得到各种对映体富集的稠合 2,3-二羟基羧酸酯。
