Abstract
The first enantio- and diastereoselective approach to alpha-alkoxy-substituted syn-beta-hydroxyesters through highly efficient catalytic asymmetric transfer hydrogenation via dynamic kinetic resolution reactions from the corresponding racemic beta-ketoesters is described. In this atom-economical process, two contiguous stereogenic centers are generated simultaneously with an excellent diastereoselectivity (up to 99/1) and enantioselectivity (up to 99%), allowing a rapid access to a wide variety of aromatic and heteroaromatic monodifferentiated syn-1,2-diols.
