Abstract

Peroxy trichloroacetimidic acid, in situ generated from aqueous hydrogen peroxide and trichloroacetonitrile, acts as a competent electrophilic oxygenating agent for a direct enantioselective α-hydroxylation of oxindoles in the presence of a chiral 1,2,3-triazolium salt as a phase-transfer catalyst.
