44. There has been a previous report on the use of protonated piperazines in asymmetric synthesis, in which they were used on a stoichiometric scale to protonate in an enantioselective fashion the prochiral lithium enolate of 1-acetoxy-2-benzylcyclohexene: K. Fuji, K. Tanaka, H. Miyamoto, Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 1993, 4, 247-259.
