With this functional group, deprotonation is observed to be the preferred reaction. ■ When to use a metalloenamine: Metalloenamines are significantly more nucleophilic than ketone or aldehyde enolates. They are used when less reactive electrophiles are under consideration. For example: no reaction However: good yield Metalloenamines are reactive enough to open epoxides in good yield. Ketone enolates are only marginally reactive enough for this family of electrophiles. ■ Nature uses enamines, "stabilized" enolates, and enol derivatives in C–C bond constructions extensively. pKa~ 29-33 syn relationship

The Hammond Postulate is also relevant to this issue and is broadly used to make qualitative statements about transition state structure. Since the X-ray data clearly support the picture that resonance structure 1 best represents the enolate structure, highly reactive electrophiles will favor O-attack according to Hine's generalization. 2 1 The Principle of Least Motion: "As reactions become more exothermic, the favored reaction becomes that path which results in the least structural (electronic) reorganization." ■ The very reactive acid chloride gives almost exclusively the O-acylation product while the less reactive methyl iodide affords the alternate C-alkylation product.
