Development of green and low-cost chiral oxidants for asymmetric catalytic hydroxylation of enals

A novel type of chiral oxidants are developed for efficient and enantioselective β-hydroxylation reaction of enals. The chiral oxidants can be easily obtained from readily available and inexpensive substituted benzoic acids and chiral prolinols. A commercially accessible and inexpensive achiral NHC...
