The present Full Paper article discloses a survey of our recent results obtained in the context of the enantioselective halogenation-initiated semi-pinacol rearrangement. Commencing with the fluorination/semi-pinacol reaction first and moving to the heavier halogens (bromine and iodine) second, the scope and limitations of the halogenative phase-transfer methodology will be discussed and compared. An extension of the fluorination/semi-pinacol reaction to the ring-expansion of five-membered allylic cyclopentanols will be also described, as well as some preliminary results on substrates prone to desymmetrization will be given. Finally, the present manuscript will culminate with a detailed mechanistic investigation of the canonical fluorination/semi-pinacol reaction. Our mechanistic discussion will be based on in situ reaction progress monitoring, complemented with substituent effect, kinetic isotopic effect and non-linear behaviour studies.

A compound usable as an asymmetric synthesis catalyst which can be easily synthesized without using any metal such as a lanthanoid group element; a method of asymmetric synthesis with the compound; and a chiral compound obtained by the asymmetric synthesis method. A Broensted acid is used as a catalyst in asymmetric synthesis, the chiral Broensted acid being represented by formula (1) below or formula (3) below. The asymmetric synthesis method employs the catalyst. Asymmetric synthesis with the catalyst gives a chiral compound.
