Summary
The first identification of aluminium containing oxonium cations having chiral atomic groups is described which may play a role in enantioselective hydrogenation of ethyl pyruvate using Pt-alumina catalyst in AcOH. The structure these cations at m/z = 509 and m/z = 567 is: [O{Al(OAc)2}2Al(OPy.OLt)]+ and [O(AlOAc.OLt)2Al(OPy)2]+
