The origin of the stereoselectivity in the asymmetric Michael reaction using chiral imines/secondary enamines under neutral conditions: a computational investigation
1998
Abstract The diastereoselectivity in the asymmetric Michael reaction using chiral imines/secondary enamines under neutral conditions has been investigated with the help of AM1 calculations. The energetic differences between the two competing transition states involving enamino ketones 7d , 7g and methyl acrylate are in good agreement with the stereoselectivities observed with the corresponding chiral imines, derived from 1-phenylethylamine (de 95%) and from 1-cyclohexylethylamine (de 45%). The calculated transition structures indicate that steric factors govern the π-facial discrimination.
