Abstract

Zhenlei Zhang,[a] Jihu Su,[b] Zhenggen Zha,*[a] and Zhiyong Wang*[a] α-Ketoesters play an essential role in biological processes. They serve as the backbones in some natural products,[1] such as the 3-deoxy-2-ulosonic acids and their derivatives.[2] In addition, α- ketoesters are also used as key intermediates for the synthesis of highly valued substrates.[3] Over the past several decades, chemists have paid great attention to the ...
