The enantioselective addition of aldehydes to diethyl azodicarboxylate in ionic liquids in the presence of chiralorganocatalysts has been investigated. Of seven differentorganocatalysts tested, L ‐proline and L ‐thiazoline‐2‐carboxylic acid gave the highest enantioselectivities (up to 94 % ee ). The best results were obtained by using [bmim]PF 6 and [hmim]BF 4 as ionic liquids. The scope of the methodology was probed by using various aldehydes and ketones. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
