Unsaturated beta-ketoesters as versatile electrophiles in organocatalysis.
Beta-ketoesters, which have widely been employed as nucleophiles, are also useful electrophiles in organocatalytic quinine mediated cascade reactions, leading to the formation of products bearing multiple stereocenters in high stereoselectivity.
