Important Aspects in Achieving Enantioselective Protonations Simple idea: Selective protonation of a tertiary carbanion with a chiral proton source generates tertiary stereocenters Enantioselective protonations are neccessarily kinetic processes, under thermodynamic control a racememate would be formed pka of proton donor and product need to be finely tuned to prevent racemization before product isolation Typical proton donors are relatively weak acids to make sure they react with the proton acceptor in a more controlled fashion In most cases it is important to generate stereodefined proton acceptors (for example pure E- or Z- enolates) Accessing the reactive proton acceptor is the most important facet, many strategies have been explored (conjugate addition, addition to ketenes ) B.

Important Aspects in Achieving Enantioselective Protonations Enolate has two enantiotopic faces Proton transfer from a chiral, nonracemic proton source will kinetically favor (R) or (S) Difficult to discriminate between diastereomeric transitions states Proton donors often have chelating sites -Protonation leads to enols which: are transformed to Ketones (racemic) act as undesired proton source Products sometimes tend to racemize C.
