Catalytic control in cyclizations: from computational mechanistic understanding to selectivity prediction

This Account describes the use of quantum-chemical calculations to elucidate mechanisms and develop catalysts to accomplish highly selective cyclization reactions. Chemistry is awash with cyclic molecules, and the creation of rings is central to organic synthesis. Cyclization reactions, the formatio...
