Abstract

An enantioselective protonation of transient enolate generated in sulfa-Michael addition was investigated. Various α-substituted acrylic derivatives and thiols were examined as substrates. α-Benzyl acrylimide gave the best results in terms of chemical yield and enantioselectivity (up to 93% yield and 92% ee)

Key words

asymmetric protonation - enantioselective catalysis - squaramide - hydrogen bonding
