A highly versatile enantioselective intermolecular Tsuji allylation that generates alpha-quaternary stereocenters is reported. The methodology utilizes a prochiral enol acetate as a substrate, which is the last class of the original Tsuji substrates to be

Enantioface-differentiating protonation of a chiral metal enolates of α-alkylcarbonyl compounds 7 has been developed using chiral γ-hydroxyselenoxides 1 as a proton source. Reaction of zinc bromide enolates of 2-benzyl- and 2-n-propylcyclohexanones with (S(Se))-1e gave (S)-2-benzylcyclohexanone 7a and (R)-2-n-propylcyclohexanone 7c in high enantiomeric excess, respectively. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the selenoxide 1, chelation effects between 1 and metal enolate, and 2-exo-hydroxy-10-bornyl-framework could contribute to this asymmetric induction.

A new type of enzymatic hydrolysis, enantioface-differentiating hydrolysis of enol esters, is disclosed. As a result of screening, Pichia miso IAM 4682, a type of yeast, was selected as the best strain to perform the enantioselective hydrolysis of enol esters to give α-chiral ketones. For example, incubation of 1-acetoxy-2-methylcyclohexene (4a) with P. miso afforded (S)-2-methylcyclohexanone (5) in high optical yield. This enzymatic hydrolysis is applicable to various α-substituted cycloalkanone enol esters, and thereby chiral six-, eight-, ten-, and twelve-membered-ring ketones of 70-96% enantiomeric excess (ee) are easily prepared.
