Screening of a range of chiral isothioureas and acyl donors to promote the asymmetric C-acylation of silyl ketene acetals indicates that C(2)-aryl-dihydropyrimidobenzothiazole-derived isothioureas and propionic anhydride give optimal reactivity and enantioselectivity in this process. Under optimised conditions 3-acyl-3-aryl or 3-acyl-3-alkylfuranones are prepared in good yields and moderate to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98 % ee; ee=enantiomeric excess).
