Enantioselective protonation protonation as the enantio-determining step Brian M. Stoltz Nature Chemistry,2009,1,359 Song jin 2010-12-18 Gong group meeting
Important factors in achieving enantioselective protonation ﹡ A fundamental method for generating a tertiary carbon stereocentre is to deliver a proton to a carbanion intermediate. ﹡Principal: enantioselective protonations are necessarily kinetic processes, because under thermodynamic control a racemate would be formed. match the pKa of the proton donor and the product to prevent racemization before product isolation
Approaches for non-enzymatic enantioselective protonation opportunities for asymmetric induction: 1.The use of a chiral Brønsted acid (Enantioselective protonation by a chiral proton donor) 2. Generation of a chiral protonacceptor intermediate (Enantioselective protonation by a chiral Brønsted base). 1.Chiral proton 2.Chiral carbanionintermediate

Choose an appropriate stoichiometric proton source a :Levacher's enol silane protonation ee:85 form a cinchonium fluoride ﹡ Deuterium labelling studies ﹡ The fluoride anion of this active catalyst then activates the silyl group to facilitate proton delivery from the ammonium cation Angew.

Yanagisawa's lithium enolate protonation A*H: 1.0eq A*H=1 ee:8-13 A*H=proline ee:1 BHT ee:76 -80 phenol ee:7 (S)-BINOL ee:9 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptadione ee:56 ﹡ using a chiral Brønsted acid (0.1 equiv) in DMF at -78 °C for 5 min. Then, a solution of an achiral proton source(1 equiv) in THF was added (over a period of 2 h) at -78°C. OL. 2006, 8, 1721-1724
﹡ Higher reactivity of A*-Li than that of the lithium enolate toward A-H is the key to success in the catalytic cycle. ﹡ both the catalyst 1 and BHT possess appropriate pKa values and BHT also has enough steric bulkiness to avoid the quick reaction with the lithium enolate, the catalytic cycle is considered to take place smoothly.

d: Yamamoto's enol silane protonation ﹡In the absence of an achiral proton source, even though a stoichiometric amount of chiral Brønsted acid was used, no reaction was observed even after 2 days. Without PhOH, the desilylation was very slow because the affinity of the resultant conjugate base [A]- to the silicon is quite low. J. AM. CHEM. SOC. 2008, 130, 9246–9247
