Counteranion control enables the enantioselective, organo Lewis acid catalyzed Hosomi-Sakurai reaction of (hetero)aromatic aldehydes and allylsilanes using an easily handled disulfonimide precatalyst (see scheme). The key to the success of this system is to turn the usually undesired silylium ion catalysis into the desired catalytic regime and pair the cation with an enantiopure disulfonimide anion, thereby applying the concept of asymmetric counteranion-directed catalysis.
The Effect of the Ring Size of the Dithiolato Leaving Group on the Orientation of β-Elimination in the Nickel-catalysed Alkenation of Cyclic Dithioacetals with Me3SiCH2MgCl

The product distribution (allyl- vs. vinyl-silanes) of the reactions of dithioacetals derived from alkyl aryl ketones with Me3SiCH2MgCl surprisingly depends on ring size of the cyclic dithioacetals, the five-membered ring substrates affording allylsilane as the major product while the six-membered analogues yield vinylsilanes predominantly.These results indicate that the leaving group, dithiolato moiety, may remain coordinated to the metal centre during the course of the catalytic process.
