Abstract

N-Acyloxyiminium ions, generated by the reaction of nitrones with acyl halides, are highly reactive species and undergo facile reaction with a wide range of nucleophiles, such as ketene silyl acetals, titanium (IV) and boron enolates, hydrido-and allyltin (IV) reagents, and alkynyltitanium (IV) reagents, to give α-substituted amine derivatives. Optically active β- amino acids can be prepared by the reaction of N-acyloxyiminium ions with both boron ...
