✦ Synopsis
We have demonstrated that quaternary ammonium salts of cinchona alkaloids grafted to a poly(ethylene glycol) matrix are efficient homogeneous catalysts in the enantioselective alkylation of glycine Schiff base derivatives. The role of the solvent, the molecular weight of the polymer and the anchorage site on the alkaloid were investigated, leading to ee's up to 81%.
