Enantioselective Peroxidation of C-alkynyl imines enabled by chiral BINOL calcium phosphate

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Mar 1;58(18):3035-3038. doi: 10.1039/d1cc07156d.

Abstract

Herein, we report a catalytic enantioselective addition of C-alkynyl imines with hydroperoxides catalyzed by chiral BINOL calcium phosphate, affording a broad range of enantioenriched α-peroxy propargylamines in good yields (80-99%) with high enantioselectivities (up to 94% ee). The protocol is characterized by mild conditions, easy accessibility and good practicability.
