a

All structures optimized by DFT-B3LYP calculations (6–31+G(d,p)) using prior to insertion of s-functions. Unless otherwise stated, glycals and DDPs were optimized starting from their respective 4H5 and 2H1 conformations.

b

Each coefficient is calculated as the linear combination of s-function and 2py; +/− values refer to the sign of the coefficients for each lobe.

c

Net polarization of each orbital in parentheses.

d

α:β selectivities from Table 3.

e

α:β selectivities from Table 4.
