Abstract
Under control: The classical polar Felkin-Anh model has been applied for the first time to the analysis of diastereoselectivity in acylation reactions (see scheme). Computational studies demonstrate that stereoelectronic effects control the enantioselectivity in asymmetric catalytic alcoholysis of acyclic anhydrides.
