Rate enhancement of phase transfer catalyzed conjugate additions by CsCl.
A rate enhancement of phase transfer catalyzed conjugate additions was accomplished using a catalytic amount of CsCl. The utility of this method was demonstrated in the asymmetric synthesis of glutamic acid derivatives by using a chiral phase transfer catalyst.
