of appropriately modified P-spiro diaminodioxaphosphonium
barfates 1ÁHBArF. The origin of the stereoselectivity most likely
resides in the recognition of the difference in the electronic
attributes of the terminal substituents of the ketene disilyl
acetal by the chiral phosphonium ion. We believe that the
present study underscores the synthetic potential of this class
of chiral ionic Brønsted acid catalysts.

11 A stoichiometric quantity of chiral Lewis acid-assisted Brønsted acid
(LBA) was applied to the asymmetric protonation of ketene disilyl
acetals derived from a-heterosubstituted carboxylic acids and mod-
erate to high enantioselectivities were attained. See ref. 2b.
