Using binaphthyl-proline-based chiral ligands, Zn(II)-catalysed addition of alcohols and tert-butyl hydroperoxide to isatin-derived N-Boc ketimines provided the isatin-derived C3 N,O-aminals in up to 99% yield and up to 99% ee. The reactions could be carried out under mild conditions and a gram-scale reaction could be realized without the loss of the yield and enantioselectivity.
