Abstract:Practitioners are generally not willing
to explore modern reactions
where considerable synthetic effort is required to generate materials
and the results are not certain. Organocatalysis exemplifies this,
in which a broad set of enantioselective reactions have been successfully
developed but further applications to include additional substrates
are often not performed. Herein we demonstrate how statistical models
can be utilized to accurately distinguish between different catalysts
and reactions to guide the s… Show more

“…those that generate one stereocenter). 58,59 For the purpose of forecasting this reaction, the sign of the ee (either -ve or +ve) represents one of two electrophile orientations which result in opposite enantiomers when catalysed by a (R)-CPA as shown by the product models displayed in Figure 7A. Since the model built on intermolecular systems is to be applied to predict the results of an intramolecular reaction, we suspected an adapted parameter set may be necessary to facilitate such a significant extrapolation reaction space.…”
