Density Functional Theory Study of the Mechanism and Origins of Stereoselectivity in the Asymmetric Simmons -- Smith Cyclopropanation with Charette Chiral Dioxaborolane Ligand.

Asymmetric Simmons-Smith reaction using Charette chiral dioxaborolane ligand is a widely applied method for the construction of enantiomerically enriched cyclopropanes. The detailed mechanism and the origins of stereoselectivity of this important reaction were investigated using density functional t...
