ABSTRACT
Chiral amino thioesters are important scaffolds owing to their widespread use in organic synthesis and biosynthesis. Despite their usefulness, their asymmetric synthesis, especially the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of α-chiral tetrasubstituted α-aminothioesters, is limited, with only one example reported so far. Herein, we report the first phase-transfer catalysed asymmetric synthesis of α-chiral tetrasubstituted α-aminothioesters to afford the corresponding products in up to 81% ee.
