Description

Ethyl (benzylamino)(oxo)acetate is an alkylating agent that can be used for the preparation of chiral cinnamyl alcohols from achiral cinnamyl acetates. It is also a ligand in crystal x-ray diffraction experiments. The catalytic activity of ethyl (benzylamino)(oxo)acetate arises from its ability to react with malonate, which is an electrophile, and form a new carbon-carbon bond. This reaction is highly stereoselective due to the chirality of the compound.
