Abstract
An asymmetric carbenoid insertion into S-H bonds catalyzed by copper-chiral spiro bisoxazoline complexes has been developed, in which a series of alpha-mercaptoesters were produced in high yields with moderate to good enantioselectivities (up to 85% ee); this result represents the best enantioselectivity in the catalytic asymmetric carbenoid S-H bond insertion reaction.
