Figure 2.

Three-dimensional representations of the computed lowest energy transition states leading to (S)-2-phenylpropanal (A) and (R)-2-phenylpropanal (B). The red double-headed arrows represent steric interactions. Both structures were calculated using BP86/(cc-pVTZ; Rh: SDD)-IEFPCM-Toluene // BP86/(6–31G*; Rh: LANL2DZ).
