Abstract

Chiral imidodiphosphoric acids were employed as catalysts for the enantioselective α-chlorination of β-keto esters and amides using NCS as the chlorine source, providing a series of optically active products with good to high enantioselectivities (74–95% ee) and excellent yields (92–99%). This represents the first report of the Brønsted acid catalyzed enantioselective α-chlorination of cyclic β-keto derivatives.
