The synthesis of efavirenz (DMP 266) involves a highly enantioselective asymmetric reaction of ketone 2a with lithium cyclopropylacetylide 3a in the presence of (1R,2S)-pyrrolidinylnorephedrine (PNE) 4b as the chiral mediator to produce 6b, a key advance
Enantioselective alkynylation of a prochiral ketone catalyzed by C2-symmetric diamino diols

C2-Symmetric diamino diols were used as chiral ligands to induce the asymmetric addition of lithium acetylides to carbonyl groups. The enantiomeric excesses (up to 99% ee) depended on the structure of the acetylene.
Use of an Ephedrine Alkoxide to Mediate Enantioselective Addition of an Acetylide to a Prochiral Ketone: Asymmetric Synthesis of the Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor L-743,726.

The asymmetric synthesis of L-743,726 was achieved in six steps with an overall yield of 31 percent.The asymmetry was introduced using a lithiated ephedrine to mediate acetylide addition to a trifluoromethyl ketone with an enantiomeric excess of 96-98 percent.
