Chiral imidates were efficiently synthesized in one step and with high yields (seven examples). These chiral imidates were used as ligands in the Cu(I)-catalyzed asymmetric aziridination of methyl cinnamate and in the asymmetric diethylzinc additions to benzaldehyde as a proof of principle. The imidate catalyst system showed high catalytic activities and induced encouraging selectivities. An X-ray structure analysis of an imidate-Cu(I) complex is included, showing a distorted tetrahedral arrangement with two bidentate ligand molecules surrounding the metal. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
