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.

The reactions of the ketones 2,2-bromoketones 6, α,β-unsaturated ketones 8, 1,2-diketones, and aliphatic aldehydes 20 with trialkylsilyl triflates 1 in the presence of triethylamine (4) at room temperature yield the silyl enol ethers 3, 7, 9, 11, and 21.The silylation of the unsymmetrical ketones 12 with 1a/4 runs regioselectively in the thermodynamical sense using 1a/12 in excess and yields the enol ethers 13t.The course of this reaction is discussed briefly.
