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.
