The contribution of steric interactions to stereoselectivity. (A) In one substrate enantiomer, groups B and C bind to B′ and C′ on the receptor, but the bulky group D faces steric hindrance at the receptor site X. (B) The opposite enantiomer faces no unfavorable steric interaction between X and A, leading to its preferential binding.
