16. We have also been able to rationalize the trends in facial selectivity for α-alkylstyrenes using molecular mechanics calculations (see ref 3b for parameters). This approach is of course much more complicated than the simple "binding pocket" mnemonic, but it is especially informative for the exceptional cases 8 and 16 in Table 1: Becker, H.; Loren, S.; Vanhessche, K.; Sharpless, K.

18. -1)-indicate slightly lower "in-close" steric demands for the 1-adamantyl substituent. If these small calculated differences are real, it is interesting to speculate on the origin of the effect. The adamantane structure is rigid and compact, and significant bond angle variations are impossible. If one now imagines the creation of the tert-butyl group by formal hydrogenolysis of the three appropriate C-C bonds in adamantane, what remains, in place of the very polycyclic framework that made deformations a nonissue, are three new C-H bonds, one on each of the methyls of what is now a tert-butyl group. Hence, cyclic constraint has in a sense been exchanged for nonbonded repulsion in the acyclic analog, and even a very slight spreading of the methyls (angle bending) could account for the tert-butyl group's larger size apparent.
