Here we report the development of the first enantioselective Dakin-West reaction, yielding α-acetamido methylketones with up to 58 % ee with good yields. Two of the obtained products were recrystallized once to achieve up to 84 % ee. The employed methylimidazole-containing oligopeptides catalyze both the acetylation of the azlactone intermediate and the terminal enantioselective decarboxylative protonation. We propose a dispersion-controlled reaction path that determines the asymmetric reprotonation of the intermediate enolate after the decarboxylation.

Multicatalysts consisting of non-natural oligopeptides with distinctly different catalytic moieties create molecular complexity in a multistep one-pot sequence starting from simple alkenes yielding highly enantiomerically enriched trans-diols. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2012.
