description

A general study of the enantioselective protonation of prochiral enolates with 2-sulfinyl alcohols is reported. The modification of reaction conditions to reduce drastically the amount of chiral proton source needed to obtain a good enantiomeric excess is reported. The effects of the different factors controlling the stereoselectivity are clearly established. Different protocols for enolate generation are compared.
