description

Abstract The favourable effect of lithium bromide enhancing the facial enantioselectivity in the protonation of methyl tetralone enolate with α-sulfinyl alcohols is described. Theoretical calculations allow to propose a model to explain the stereochemical course of the protonation reaction.
