A chiral Lewis base organocatalyzed asymmetric hydrosilylation of α-substituted β-enamino esters is presented. The reactions proceeded through dynamic kinetic resolution to afford various enantioenriched β2-amino esters with high yields (up to 98%) in moderate enantioselectivities (up to 77% ee).
Key words
asymmetric catalysis - dynamic kinetic resolution - β
