The enantioselective surface chemistry of chiral R-2-bromobutane was studied on the naturally chiral Cu(643)R&S and Cu(531)R&S surfaces by comparing relative product yields during temperature-programmed reaction spectroscopy. Molecularly adsorbed R-2-bromobutane can desorb molecularly or debrominate to form R-2-butyl groups on the surfaces. The R-2-butyl groups react further by beta-hydride elimination to form 1- or 2-butene or by hydrogenation to form butane. Temperature-programmed reaction spectroscopy was used to quantify the relative yields of the various reaction products. At low coverages of R-2-bromobutane on Cu(643)R&S and Cu(531)R&S, the surface chemistry is not enantioselective. At monolayer coverage, however, the product yields indicate that the R-2-bromobutane decomposition reaction rates are sensitive to the handedness of the two chiral surfaces. The impact of surface structure on enantioselectivity was examined by studying the chemistry of R-2-bromobutane on both Cu(643)R&S and Cu(531)R&S. The selectivity of R-2-bromobutane desorption versus debromination is enantiospecific and differs significantly from Cu(643) to Cu(531). The selectivity of the R-2-butyl reaction by beta-hydride elimination versus hydrogenation is only weakly enantiospecific and is similar on both the Cu(643) and Cu(531) surfaces. These results represent the first quantitative observations of enantioselectivity in reactions with well-known mechanisms probed using a simple adsorbate on naturally chiral metal surfaces.
