2-Butylcyclopentanone is a protonated molecule that can be used in the kinetic protonation of alkyl halides. It has been shown to catalyze the formation of chiral carbanions from enolates and to form stereoisomers by kinetic asymmetric addition. The homologous series of 2-butylcyclopentanones has been studied extensively, as these molecules have been shown to have a wide range of uses, including as catalysts and reagents in organic synthesis.
The mechanistic studies on this molecule have revealed that it is an electrophilic alkylation agent that reacts with nucleophiles at the protonated carbon atom. The selectivity of this reaction depends on the reactivity of the nucleophile, with more reactive nucleophiles leading to higher levels of selectivity. Protonation and alkylation are reversible processes and equilibrium constants for these reactions can be determined experimentally by measuring rates for both forward and
