Abstract

Chiral quaternary phosphonium salts derived from amino acids were readily prepared and employed as phase-transfer catalysts for the highly enantioselective conjugate addition of glycine imines to various activated alkenes, including chalcones, acrylates, and vinyl ketones. © 2016 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
