Enantioselective Fluorination of β-Ketoesters Catalyzed by Chiral Sodium Phosphate: Remarkable Enhancement of Reactivity by Simultaneous Utilization of Metal Enolate and Metal Phosphate
A fast and highly enantioselectivefluorination of [small beta]-keto esters catalyzed by diphenylamine linked bis(oxazoline)-Cu(OTf)2 complexes under solvent-free conditions has been developed using a planetary ball mill.
