Requirements for an Effective Chiral Auxiliary Enolate Alkylation

1. Xc must be low cost, and available in both enentiomeric forms

2. The cleavage of Xc from the substrate must occur under mild enough conditions

so that racemization is avoided.

3. The pi-facial selectivity of electrophile attack on the enolate will be dictated by sterics.

4. Either E or Z enolate should be formed exclusively

5. Metal ion chelation provides a rigid template and a single conformation, so that the sterics

of the auxiliary can enforce facial bias in electrophile attack on the enolate
