Significance

The development of an enantio­selective three-component [(salen)Al(III)Cl] catalyzed Passerini reaction is reported. The desired α-acyl­oxyamides are obtained with good to excellent enantioselectivities in moderate to good yields. For previous work, see: S. X. Wang, M. X. Wang, D. X. Wang, J. Zhu Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2007, 4076. For further multicomponent reactions, see the review below.
