Origin of diastereocontrol in the oxy-Michael reactions of delta-lactol anions: a computational and experimental study.

The diastereoselectivity in the alkylation and Michael addition of "naked" 6-substituted delta-lactolates has been studied by density functional (B3LYP) calculations with ab initio (MP2) energy refinements. The resulting proposed model for the origins of stereocontrol in this reaction has...
