Abstract

An efficient kinetic resolution of racemic oxaziridines has been realized via catalytic asymmetric α-hydroxylation of available β-keto esters. In the presence of a chiral bifunctional guanidine catalyst, a variety of optically active oxaziridines and chiral α-hydroxy β-keto esters were generated with excellent results (ee's of up to 99% and 97% and yields of up to 44% and 54%, respectively).
