Catalytic Enantioselective α-Ketol Rearrangement

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Hua Wu, Rémi Julien Sylvain Andres

A highly enantioselective a-ketol rearrangement has been developed. In the presence of a chiral Cu-bisoxazoline complex, achiral b-hydroxy-a-dicarbonyls were isomerized to chiral a-hydroxy-b-dicarbonyls and their bicyclic derivatives in excellent yields an ...
