Abstract

A catalytic enantioselective α-amination reaction of alkenoate cyclic esters with dialkyl azodicarboxylates was achieved by using a 3,3′-di(1-naphthyl)-substituted (R)-BINOL–dibromostannane complex as a chiral precatalyst in the presence of a sodium alkoxide and an alcohol. Optically active α-hydrazino ketones were obtained in moderate to high yields and with up to 91% ee in the presence of the chiral tin alkoxide generated in situ.
