G. Mehta et al., 4-SUBSTITUTED NORSNOUTANONES - A NEW PROBE SYSTEM FOR EVALUATING ELECTRONIC EFFECTS IN PI-FACIAL SELECTIVITY IN NUCLEOPHILIC ADDITIONS, Chemical communications, (1), 1997, pp. 75-76
Remotely substituted norsnoutanone derivatives show significant and co
nsistent pi-face selectivity in nucleophilic additions, revealing the
interplay of orbital and electrostatic effects.
