CATALYTIC ASYMMETRIC RING-OPENING OF σ-SYMMETRIC CYCLIC CARBONATES WITH CHIRAL AMINO SULFONAMIDE CATALYSTS

Abstract

Enantioselective ring-opening of σ-symmetric six-membered cyclic carbonates with benzyl alcohol catalyzed by 20 mol% of chiral amino sulfonamide catalysts afforded chiral acyclic carbonates in up to 79% ee
