Synthesis of chiral α-alkynyl-α-hydroxyamides by enantioselective alkynylation of α-keto amides.

The α-hydroxyamide moiety is an important structural component in a wide variety of biologically active compounds and natural products. Herein, we describe a highly efficient and practical approach towards chiral quaternary α-alkynyl-α-hydroxyamides…
