We herein report our efforts to obtain a new class of systematically modified bifunctional (thio)urea-containing quaternary ammonium salts based on easily obtainable chiral backbones. Among the different classes of catalysts that were successfully synthesized, those based on <i>trans</i>-1,2-cyclohexane diamine were found to be the most powerful for the asymmetric α-fluorination of β-keto esters. Selectivities up to 93:7 could be obtained by using only 2 mol-% of the optimized catalyst. The impo ...[more]
