From Mechanistic Study to Chiral Catalyst Optimization: Theoretical Insight into Binaphthophosphepine-catalyzed Asymmetric Intramolecular [3 + 2] Cycloaddition
Abstract Density functional M11 was used to study the mechanism and enantioselectivity of a binaphthophosphepine-catalyzed intramolecular [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction. The computational results revealed that this reaction proceeds through nucleophilic addition of the phosphine catalyst to the alle...
