Theoretical insights into the enantioselectivity and mechanism of diels-alder reactions involving chiral cationic oxazaborolidinium catalyst
The chiral oxazaborolidinium ion catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction between 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene and 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone was studied by means of density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. Different DFT-based theoretical approaches including the reaction force, the...
