The first enantioselective direct α-hydroxylation of β-oxo esters was developed by using phase-transfercatalysis. 1-Indanone-derived 1-adamantyl (1-Ad) β-oxo esters, in the presence of commercially available cumyl hydroperoxide and a cinchonine-based ammonium salt, resulted in the corresponding products with 69–91 % yield and 65–74 % ee. The reaction had also been successfully scaled-up to a gram
asymmetric α‐hydroxylation of β‐indanone esters and β‐indanone amides using peroxide as the oxidant was realized with a new C‐2′ substituted Cinchona alkaloid derivatives. The two enantiomers of α‐hydroxy‐β‐indanone esters could be obtained by simply changing the oxidant. This protocol allows a convenient access to the corresponding α‐hydroxy‐β‐indanone esters and α‐hydroxy‐β‐indanone amides with up to

Methylhydrazine-induced α-hydroxylation of β-dicarbonylcompounds was achieved using O2 as the oxygen source. This reaction provides an efficient approach to enantioenriched ɑ-hydroxy β-dicarbonylcompounds, which are valuable substances and widely used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. A wide variety of β-keto esters could undergo this oxidation to give the corresponding products in excellent
Development of C-6′-modified quinine-derived phase-transfer catalysts and their application in the enantioselective α-hydroxylation of β-dicarbonyl compounds
We have developed C-6'-modified quinine quaternary ammonium salts as phase transfer catalysts for alpha-hydroxylation of beta-dicarbonyl compounds. The quinine quaternary ammonium salts, which was modified at C-6' and the N atom, had good activity for alpha-hydroxylation of B-dicarbonyl compounds. By using 5 mol % of 6-hydroxyl-N-(4'-fluoro-2'-trifluoromethyl)quinine quaternary ammonium salt as the organocatalyst, cumene hydroperoxide as the oxidant, toluene as the solvent, and 50% K2HPO4 as the aqueous alkali at room, temperature, the yield and enantioselectivity of the alpha-hydroxylation of beta-keto esters were 95% and 88%, respectively. This catalytic system was also applicable for beta-keto amides (92% yield and 76% ee). (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
