Abstract
Highly enantioselective cyanation of β-keto esters using hypervalent iodine(iii) as the electrophilic cyanating reagent induced by cinchona alkaloid-based chiral quaternary ammonium salt was demonstrated. Organic bases, especially DMAP, in the chiral phase-transfer catalysis were used to obtain high ees.
