(Chemical Equation Presented) A new chiral benzimidazolide is developed as a nonenzymatic acylating agent for enantioselective benzoylation of racemic α-amino esters. The process is highly efficient, which exhibits uniformly high enantioselectivity for α-amino esters with or without aryl substituents under mild reaction conditions. The chiral benzimidazolide is inexpensive and is easily accessible.
