A useful catalytic enantioselective approach has been developed for the synthesis of chiral ketamine analogs using Rh(II)-catalyzed amination of triisopropylsilyl enol ethers to form α-amino ketones with O-(4-nitrophenyl)hydroxylamine as nitrogen donor in 81-91% ee.

Enantioselective protonation is a potent and efficient way to construct chiral carbons. Here we report details of the reaction using Lewis acid-assisted chiral Bronsted acids (chiral LBAs). The 1:1 coordinate complex of tin tetrachloride and optically active binaphthol ((R)- or (S)-BINOL) can directly protonate various silyl enol ethers and ketene disilyl acetals to give the corresponding α-aryl ketones and α-arylcarboxylic acids, respectively, with high enantiomeric excesses (up to 98% ee). A catalytic version of enantioselective protonation has also been achieved using stoichiometric amounts of 2,6-dimethylphenol and catalytic amounts of monomethyl ether of optically active BINOL in the presence of tin tetrachloride. This protonation is also effective for producing α-halocarbonyl compounds (up to 91% ee). DFT calculations on the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level show that the conformational structure of the chiral LBA and the orientation of activated proton on (R)-BINOLs are important for understanding the absolute stereochemistry of the products.
