The synergistic use of chiral bifunctional ammonium iodide catalysts in combination with simple catalytically relevant aldimines allows for an unprecedented asymmetric α-hydroxylation reaction of β-ketoesters using H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. The reaction proceeds via in situ formation of a hypervalent iodine species, which then reacts with the used aldimine to generate an activated electrophilic oxygen transfer reagent. ...[more]
