      ab: The origin of enantioselectivity in the asymmetric alkynylation of trihalomethyl ketones catalyzed by octahedral stereogenic-at-ruthenium complexes has been investigated through density functional theory calculations. Computational results support a mechanism involving formation of a ruthenium acetylide, followed by pre-coordination of the trihalomethyl ketone through the carbonyl oxygen and intramolecular attack of the acetylide via a compact four-membered transition state. Differences in computed free energies of activation for the formation of the major and minor propargyl alcohol enantiomers are in good agreement with the experimentally observed levels of asymmetric induction. Analysis of fragment distortion energies shows that disfavored transition states are destabilized due to the more severe distortion and loss of π-conjugation in the coordinated arylketone fragments. Examination of the different substitution patterns in the ketone substrate and the catalyst reveals the key steric factors that control the enantioselectivity. Finally, calculations indicate promising directions for the simplification of the catalyst scaffold while preserving the high levels of enantioselectivity of these alkynylation reactions.
