Alkylation of the cyclic β-keto ester2-(methoxycarbonyl)-1-indanone (2) with racemic alkylsulfonium salts 1a-h gave 2-alkylindanones 3 and 4 in 60-96percent yields.The relative reactivities of the alkyl substituents of aryldialkylsulfonium salts 1e and 1f were quite different from those in SN2 alkylations.Asymmetric induction occured upon alkylation of 2 with optically active sulfonium salts. (R)-2-Ethyl-2-(methoxycarbonyl)cyclohexanone (11) was obtained in up to 16percent ee by alkylation of the enolate ion of 2-(methoxycarbonyl)cyclohexanone (9) with optically active (R)-(+)-(p-chlorophenyl)ethylmethylsulfonium d-10-camphorsulfonate (1k).Alkylation of the enolate ion of 2 with sulfonium salts containing optically active alkyl groups afforded C-alkylated products with inversion of configuration at the asymmetric alkyl carbon atom.These alkylations appear to proceed via an S-O sulfurane intermediate or a tight ion pair with subsequent stereoselective alkyl migration to the enolate.

A new asymmetric alkylation of cyclic β-keto esters with optically active sulfonium salts, which are easily prepared by optical resolution methods, has been investigated.Relative reactivities for alkyl substituents are found to be quite different from tho
