Catalytic enantioselective aldol additions of alpha-isothiocyanato imides to alpha-ketoesters.
A readily available bifunctional thiourea catalyst promotes aldol additions of alpha-isothiocyanato imides to alpha-ketoesters under mild reaction conditions to form beta-hydroxy-alpha-amino acid derivatives with high levels of enantioselectivity.
