A highly efficient enantioselective addition of Me2Zn to α-ketoesters, assisted by a chiral perhydro-1,3-benzoxazine ligand, is described. This novel catalytic system offers homogeneous elevated enantioselectivities in the preparation of α-hydroxyesters that bear a quaternary stereocenter, with a minor dependence on electronic and steric effects when aromatic, heteroaromatic, or aliphatic α-ketoesters are employed. The catalyst can be recovered and reused without loss of activity.

The readily available (+)-N-Benzyl-(S)-mandelamide catalyzes the enantioselective addition of dimethylzinc to α-keto esters to give α-methyl-α-hydroxy esters containing stereogenic quaternary centers with moderate to good yields (56-87%). A good enantioselectivity of the reaction is obtained for aryl and heteroaryl keto esters. For these substrates ee values of 75-90% are obtained. The enantioselectivity is somewhat lower for the substrates bearing an aliphatic chain. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

A strategy based on the control of the electron-donating capabilities of the coordinating groups of the ligand has been applied in the catalytic asymmetric addition of organometallic reagents to ketoesters. Mandelamides having deprotonated alcohol and carboxyamido groups catalyzed the addition of dimethylzinc to α-ketoesters with good yields and ee (up to 90%).
