Direct Catalytic Asymmetric Introduction Of Non-Protected Amino Groups At The α-Position Of Carbonyl

Caption

The hydroxylamine is converted into a reactive intermediate in the presence of trichloroacetonitrile. The chiral 1,2,3-triazolium salt, a unique phase transfer catalyst developed by Ooi's group, enables stereoselective carbon-nitrogen bond formation by the generation of chiral enolates of carbonyl compounds.
