The first enantioselective Reformatsky-type reaction of ethyl iodofluoroacetate has been accomplished with alkyl aryl ketones. High diastereoselectivities and excellent enantioselectivities for the major diastereomer (93-95% ee) were achieved with large alkyl groups. For smaller alkyl groups the diastereoselectivities were moderate, but excellent enantioselectivities were obtained for both diastereomers (79-94% ee).

β-Tertiary amino acid derivatives constitute one of the most frequently occurring units in natural products and bioactive molecules. However, the efficient asymmetric synthesis of this motif still remains a significant challenge. Herein, we disclose a cobalt-catalyzed enantioselective reductive addition reaction of ketimine using α-chloro carbonyl compound as a radical precursor, providing expedient access to a diverse array of enantioenriched β-quaternary amino acid analogues.

Here, an enantioselective aza-Reformatsky reaction using acyclic ketimine substrates is presented. Using α-phosphorated ketimines as electrophilic substrates and a simple BINOL-derived ligand, phosphorated analogues of aspartic acid holding chiral tetrasubstituted carbons are efficiently obtained with excellent enantioselectivity through an asymmetric organocatalytic Reformatsky-type reaction. The phosphorated analogues of aspartic acid have been used for the synthesis of phosphorus-containing enantiopure tetrasubstituted β-lactams.

The classical Reformatsky reaction introduced for the first time in 1887 has been recognized as one among the most useful methods for C-C bond formation. Diastereoselective versions based on the use of chiral auxiliaries as well as enantioselective protocols using chiral ligands have been successfully developed during the last few years. This tutorial review highlights the main recent achievements (since 2004) in the diastereoselective Reformatsky reaction; diastereochemical control has been efficiently achieved using a large variety of chiral auxiliaries to perform the synthesis of specific cyclic and acyclic chiral moieties.
