Abstract
An enantioselective approach for the synthesis of α-hydrazino aldehydes is described that utilizes alcohols and N-Boc hydrazine instead of the conventional combination of aldehydes with azodicarboxylates. This protocol is enabled by merging in situ aerobic dual oxidation with asymmetric organocatalysis. This reaction also exhibits a high tolerance for varieties of substituents on the alcohol component. This approach features excellent enantiocontrol, cheap starting materials, operational simplicity, and scalability. The corresponding chiral β-hydrazino alcohols were obtained by sequential reduction with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 98% ee).
