Abstract
Novel, chiral Lewis base organocatalysts, which displayed poor enantioselection in the hydrosilylation of N-aryl β-enamino esters, were found to be the catalysts of choice in the hydrosilylation of a-imino esters. In the presence of 10mol-% of the best catalyst, various a-imino esters under-went enantioselective hydrosilylation to provide a wide range of chiral a-amino esters with good, yields (up to 97%) and high enantioselectivities (up to 93 % ee) except for some special substrates. © 2010 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
