Stereoselective protonation is a challenge in asymmetric catalysis. The small size and high rate of transfer of protons mean that face-selective delivery to planar intermediates is hard to control, but it can unlock previously obscure asymmetric transformations. Particularly, when coupled with a preceding decarboxylation, enantioselective protonation can convert the abundant acid feedstocks into structurally diverse chiral molecules.
