Graphical Abstract

Chirale Succinimid-Derivate sind durch die Titelreaktion mit ausgezeichneten Ausbeuten und Enantioselektivitäten schon bei Zusatz einer geringen Katalysatormenge von 0.05 Mol-% unter milden Bedingungen zugänglich. Wichtige Strukturmotive aus Natur- und Wirkstoffen, namentlich chirale 3-Benzylpyrrolidine und 1-Hydroxypyrrolidin-2,5-dione, konnten problemlos erhalten werden. BARF=Tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluormethyl)phenyl]borat.
