Abstract
"Quat's" the story? N-Aryl amides are effective directing/activating groups for chlorosilane Lewis acids. This aspect has been exploited for the development of the first simple and general method for the highly enantioselective Pictet-Spengler reaction of ketimines derived from alpha-ketoamides leading to quaternary alpha-amino acid derivatives (see scheme).Entities:
