Abstract

The catalytic asymmetric oxidation of α-substituted β-keto esters promoted by C 2-symmetric iodoarenes as chiral agents and MCPBA­ as the oxidant is described. By a careful screening of the reaction conditions, promising enantiomeric excesses and moderate-to-good yields were obtained for the synthesis of β-keto esters containing a stereogenic center.
