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
enantioselective hydroxylation reaction of both 3-aryl and 3-alkyl-2-oxindoles using the DBFOX-Zn(II) complex, leading to pharmaceutically important chiral 3-hydroxy-2-oxindoles was described. The structure of oxidant was found to play an important role to increase the enantioselectivity. The methodology has successfully applied to the highly enantioselective hydroxylation of beta-keto esters using the DBFOX-Ni(II)
A highly efficient α-hydroxylation of β-ketoesters catalyzed by cupreidine in the presence of cumyl hydroperoxide (CHP) was achieved. The reaction was applied to a wide variety of β-ketoesters to give products in high yields (up to 95%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee). The reaction had been successfully scaled up to a gram quantity and (S)-5-chloro-2-hydroxy-1-oxo-2,3-dihydro-
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

Chiral bifunctional urea‐containing ammonium salts were found to be very efficient catalysts for asymmetric α‐hydroxylation reactions of β‐ketoesters with oxaziridines under base‐free conditions. The reaction is accompanied by a simultaneous kinetic resolution of the oxaziridine and a plausible and so far unprecedented bifunctional transition‐state model has been obtained by means of DFT calculations
