Abstract
A reliable and practical Reformatsky reaction of ethyl iodide acetate with ketones for the synthesis of chiral β‐hydroxyl carbonyl compounds in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities is presented. A readily available dihydroindole derivative was used as chiral catalyst, ethyl iodide acetate was the nucleophile, and Me2Zn was the zinc source. The presence of air was found to be essential for the efficient construction of new carbon–carbon bonds through a radical pathway.
