(Chemical Equation Presented) A reliable phosphonium-based PTC: For the first time a chiral quaternary tetraalkylphosphonium salt has successfully been used as a phase-transfer catalyst (PTC) for asymmetric amination of β-keto esters, in high yield and with high ee (see scheme). Asymmetric amination of a cyclic five-membered β-keto ester is a valuable method for preparing a key intermediate for asymmetric synthesis of aldose reductase inhibitor AS-3201 (Ranirestat).

An efficient approach for the design of chiral quaternary phosphonium bromides as chiral phase-transfer catalysts was demonstrated. A catalyst library of phosphonium salts with various structures was readily constructed using commercially available chiral phosphines as catalyst precursors, and an optimized catalyst was successfully applied to highly enantioselective conjugate additions under base-free phase-transfer conditions with low catalyst loading.
