Chiral Sulfonamide Induced Enantioselective Protonation of Samarium Enolate in the Reaction of α,β-Unsaturated Ester with Ketone

Abstract
Good enantioselectivity (up to 84% ee) has been achieved in the formation of α,γ-substituted-γ-butyrolactone by the SmI2-mediated reductive coupling of ketones with methyl methacrylate using various chiral proton sources.
