- same distereoselectivity and product yields (83–89%, Table 2, entries 16–18). From a mechanistical point of view, these reactions are similar to the Prins cyclization [41]. First, the aldehyde got activated by PTSA protonation followed by a nucleophilic attack of the homoallylic alcohol and proton
- transfer to the hydroxy group. Then, a nucleophilic attack of PTSA resulted in α-tosyloxyether formation after losing a water molecule. In the α-tosyloxyether, the delocalization of lone-pair electrons on the oxygen atom led to the removal of the tosylate group and oxo-carbenium ion intermediate formation

However, in SEAs, the acid-base reaction of acidic monomers with the basic amine co-initiators of the PI system may
- significantly impair the formation of initiating radicals. Moreover, especially in the aqueous medium, the polar radical ions are well solvated by the surrounding medium, thus inhibiting the proton transfer. If proton transfer occurs, both non-ionic and therefore rather hydrophobic species are kept in the

- Brønsted bases in the Diels-Alder reaction of anthrones and N-substituted maleimides. High yields of cycloadducts and significant asymmetric inductions up to 76% ee are accessible. The proposed mechanism involves proton transfer between anthrone and bisamidine, association of the resulting ions and finally
- mechanistic rationalisation is proposed in Scheme 4. The catalyst deprotonates the anthrone in the initial step. This assumption is supported by the pKa values of compounds 2a (10, [7][8]) and 8·H+ (~11, [6]). Furthermore, the appearance of the yellow color of enolates (1·H+) shows significant proton transfer
