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.
