Enantiopure imidazolinium-dithiocarboxylates as highly selective novel organocatalysts.
Asymmetric imidazolinium-dithiocarboxylates have been found for the first time to be highly selective catalysts; in the present case, the novel organocatalysts were able to catalyze the Staudinger reaction in up to 96% ee and 99% yield.
