Abstract A highly enantioselective α-benzoyloxylation of malonic diester has been achieved by phase-transfer catalysis. The reaction of α-monosubstituted tert-butyl methyl malonate with benzoyl peroxide in the presence of aqueous KOH and N-(9-anthracenylmethyl)cinchoninium chloride afforded the corresponding α,α-disubstituted products in generally excellent chemical yields (up to 99% yield) with high enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee). In addition, the utility of this methodology was exhibited by the synthesis of a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist.
