This content is a preprint and has not undergone peer review at the time of posting.

Abstract

The parameterization of a transition state force field for the title reaction is described. Validation for 82 literature examples leads to a MUE of 1.8 kJ/mol and an R2 of 0.877 between computed and experimental stereoselectivities. The use if the TSFF is demonstrated for a virtual library of 27 ligands and 59 enones.
