It is broadly believed that optically active α-alkyl-β-keto esters racemize very quickly. Nevertheless, no one really knows how fast the racemization is. In fact, such species are hardly attainable to date. Now, a facile entry to these greatly understudied esters has been found and their racemization has been studied for the first time. The results showed that under neutral or slightly acidic conditions such species were much more stable than one might expect, though they did racemize rapidly under basic conditions. In light of the new findings, santinol C was also synthesized in enantiopure forms.

Breaking kamp: A catalytic route toward chiral α-alkyl-β- ketoesters using the title reaction of α-alkyl diazoester with aldehydes has been developed (see scheme). The reaction proceeds with high to excellent enantioselectivities and this methodology was applied to a concise two-step synthesis of the natural pheromone sitophilate. Copyright
