Abstract

Enantioface-differentiating protonation of achiral metal enolates of α-alkylcarbonyl compounds 7 has been developed using chiral γ-hydroxyselenoxides 1 as a proton source. Reaction of zinc bromide enolates of 2-benzyl-and 2-n-propylcyclohexanones with (S Se-1e gave (S)-2-benzylcyclohexanone 7a and (R)-2-n-propylcyclohexanone 7c in high enantiomeric excess, respectively. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the selenoxide 1, ...
