title: Enantioselective α-hydroxylation of β-ketoamides.
abstract: The first enantioselective α-hydroxylation reaction of α-substituted β-ketoamides has been developed by using the commercially available hydroquinine/TBHP system. The tertiary alcohols are obtained in good to high yield and up to 83% ee, which can be improved by a single crystallization.
