- No mechanism was established; however, one hypothesis was that reaction occurred through an axially chiral intermediate - Mixed aggregates involving the chiral enolate below were later implicated

Memory of Chirality: Definition
Problem: Can stereochemical information be retained during a process in which the sole stereogenic center of a substrate is destroyed?

"the chirality of the starting material is preserved in a reactive intermediate for a limited time"
Memory of chirality (MOC) has been defined as a process in which:
"A 'memory of chirality' reaction can be defined as a formal substitution at an sp3 stereogenic center that proceeds stereospecifically, even though the reaction proceeds by trigonalization of that center, and despite the fact that no other permanently chiral elements are present in the system."
This process has also been described as follows:

- Fuji and co-workers proposed two strategies for the establishment of conformationally chiral enolates - axially chiral enolates or planar chiral enolates

Fast
Very Slow
A Reaction at stereogenic center (e.g., enolate formation) generates conformationallychiral intermediate
BVery Slow
C
Conformationally chiral intermediate must not readily racemize
Fast

Very Slow
Reaction must occur with high stereospecificity
- Critical issue: reaction kinetics

Conclusions
- Memory of chirality represents an emerging strategy in the field of stereoselective synthesis
- This method takes advantage of the dynamic, conformational chirality present in systems with restricted rotation about single bonds
- Requires no external sources of chirailty
- Highly time, temperature, and substrate dependent
- Primary application has been in the area of enolate chemistry - limited number of examples involving radical and carbocationic intermediates
