Abstract
The first asymmetric α-difluoromethylketone thiolation of diverse β-keto esters using an electrophilic phthalimide-SCF2COAr reagent (PhthN-SCF2COAr) was reported. In the presence of cinchona-alkaloid-based catalyst (DHQD)2PHAL, the reaction was achieved in moderate yields with a moderate to excellent enantioselectivity (up to 93% ee) under mild reaction conditions and exhibited functional group compatibility. An ammonium hydrogen-bonded induction model was proposed to rationalize the origin of enantioselectivity.
