QM/MM study on the enantioselectivity of spiroacetalization catalysed by an imidodiphosphoric acid catalyst: how confinement works.

The mechanism for the spiroacetalization of enol-ethers and promoted by chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalyst () and by chiral imidodiphosphoric acid catalyst () has been investigated by QM/MM methods. The computed levels of enantioselectivity following exhaustive conformational analysis is in close...
