摘要
A chiral spirocyclic quaternary ammonium salt catalyzed asymmetric alkylation, especially methylation, of alpha-aryl esters possessing inherently poor reactivity under strong basic conditions has been developed, giving the target products with up to 94 % ee. This mild process was also applied to synthesize optically pure naproxen.
