Catalytic amide allylation of α-ketoesters: extremely high enantioselective synthesis of ester functionalised α-methylene-γ-butyrolactones

Abstract

This communication reports a significant breakthrough on the novel catalytic amide allylation to the acyclic α-ketoester systems, achieving satisfactorily high yields and extremely high levels of the asymmetric induction to allow for highly enantioselective synthesis of ester functionalised α-methylene-γ-butyrolactones.
