Abstract
This Account chronicles our efforts in the development of the catalytic asymmetric Stetter reaction using chiral triazolium salts as small molecule organic catalysts. Advances in the mechanistically related azolium-catalyzed asymmetric benzoin reaction are discussed, particularly as they apply to catalyst design. A chronological treatise of reaction discovery, catalyst optimization and reactivity extension follows.

Investigation of the enantioselectivity as a function of conversion revealed that 80 is formed in 80% ee at 10% conversion, with rapid erosion to 50% ee at 30% conversion.
