The synthesis and the evaluation as organocatalysts of new chiral guanidines derived from benzimidazoles in the enantioselective α-amination of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds using di-<i>t</i>-butylazodicarboxylate as aminating agent is herein disclosed. The catalysts are readily synthesized through the reaction of 2-chlorobezimidazole and a chiral amine in moderate-to-good yields. Among all of them, those derived from (<i>R</i>)-1-phenylethan-1-amine (<b>1</b>) and (<i>S</i>)-1-(2-naphthyl)ethan-1-am ...[more]
