A study was conducted to demonstrate highly enantioselective synthesis of β-amino acid derivatives by the Lewis base catalyzed hydrosilylation of βenamino esters. It was found that these catalyst and its analogue displayed excellent activities and enantioselectivities in promoting hydrosilylation of N-aryl β-enamino esters. N-picolinoylpyrrolidine derivatives and N-picolioylephedrine were also evaluated in hydrosilylation of (Z)-methyl 3-phenyl-3-(phenylamino)acrylate. The generality of the Lewis base organocatalyzed hydrosilylation of various β-enamino esters were examined under the optimized conditions. It was observed that the catalytic system exhibited a high sensitivity to the N-substituents, while all the N-aryl β-enamino esters underwent the hydrosilylation smoothly to give corresponding β-amino esters.

(Chemical Equation Presented) We have synthesized a series of chiral cyclic secondary amines having different substitution patterns and have screened them as catalysts for the asymmetric epoxidation of olefins using Oxone. The highest enantiomeric excess (61%) occurred for the epoxidation of 1-phenylcyclohexene catalyzed by a secondary amine bearing a fluorine atom at the β-position relative to the amino center. Our experimental results provide further support to the notion that the amine plays a dual role - as a phase transfer catalyst and an Oxone activator - in these epoxidation reactions. The slightly acidic reaction conditions we employed in this work obviate the need to preform ammonium salts, which are the actual catalysts that mediate the epoxidations.
