Stereoselective Synthesis of alpha-Alkyl-beta-keto Imides via Asymmetric Redox C-C Bond Formation between alpha-Alkyl-alpha-diazocarbonyl Compounds and Aldehydes
Asymmetric redox C-C bond formation between alpha-alkyl-alpha-diazocarbonyl compounds and aldehydes was developed as a practical and general method for the construction of alpha-alkyl-beta-keto imides having a chiral nonracemic tertiary stereogenic center.
