Abstract
The mechanism of the reaction between di-tert-butyl azadicarboxylate and 1, 3-dicarbonyl compounds catalyzed by an axially chiral guanidine is investigated by density functional theory methods. The results show that the catalyst acts simultaneously as a Brønsted base and an acid catalyst, and the mechanism is similar to that of the related BINOP organocatalysts. Surprisingly, cyclic and acyclic β-keto esters yield opposite enantiomers; ...
