Enhancement of enantioselection in the copper-catalysed intramolecular Büchner reaction by variation of the counterion

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Variation of the enantioselection of the copper-catalysed intramolecular Büchner reaction of diazoketones with the nature of the counterion is reported; significantly the presence of the noncoordinating BARF anion leads to enhanced enantioselectivities when the aryl group bears electron-withdrawing halo substituents.
