摘要
An efficient catalytic synthesis of alpha-amino-beta-keto esters has been newly developed. Cross-coupling of various aldehydes with alpha-imino ester, catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbene, leads chemoselectively to alpha-amino-beta-keto esters in moderate to good yields with high atom efficiency. The reaction mechanism is discussed, and it is proposed that the alpha-amino-beta-keto esters are formed under thermodynamic control.
