Abstract
A series of cinchona alkaloid-derived dimeric quaternary ammonium salts were prepared as chiral phase-transfer catalysts by the introduction of various functional groups on the phenyl ligand. Among them, the 2-F-substituted derivative 21 showed the highest enantioselectivity in the alkylation of the glycine anion equivalent 1 (97 to >99% ee).
