Abstract
Enolate protonation can occur by two different pathways. With strong acids regioselective protonation generally occurs on the oxygen of the enolate to give an enol and then acid catalysed tautomerisation leads directly to the thermody-namically preferred carbonyl motif. However, with much weaker acids kinetic protonation on carbon can occur to give directly the carbonyl derivative. This review discuss recent developments into the use of chelating acids to promote this stereochemically important C-protonation and we comment on factors that appear to promote this selectivity.

99.Different acids of similar acidity have been shown to have the same facial preference.41 However, further studies40 have revealed that the use of weaker acids like H2O give the same facial preference as citric acid, even though ligand protonation was no longer favourable.
100.The pK Ha of related amines are in the region of 10–11 (e.g. , Et3N, pK Ha (NH) = 10.8 and Et2NH, pK Ha (NH) = 10.9).
