Abstract In the presence of a catalytic amount of a samarium(III) iodide, the addition reaction of ketene silyl acetal to imine afforded the corresponding β-aminoester with high anti-selectivity. The reaction of chiral imine under the same conditions gave β-aminoester with high diastereoselectivity.
