Table 5. Comparison of prediction and experiment for enantioselective reactions for catalysts 1–4.
Catalyst | Calculated ΔΔG≠* | Experimental ΔΔG≠ | ΔΔΔG≠ (Calc-Exp) |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 2.8 | 1.7 | 1.1 |
2 | -0.1† | 0.1 | -0.2 |
3 | 1.8 | 0.7 | 1.1 |
4 | 4.1 | 1.1 | 3.0 |
Mean absolute average error = 1.4 kcal/mol |
Energies are in kcal/mol and represent values derived from calculated Boltzmann distributions.
Negative value means a theoretical preference for the minor isomer found experimentally.
