Takahashi and Tsuji reported that the stereoselectivity observed in protonation of the metal enolate of 3-alkyl-2-methyl-1-acetylcyclopentene, prepared by conjugate addition of vinyl group, could be rationalized by MM2 calculations. They fixed the position of the proton donor 2.5 Å above or below the α-carbon of the metal enolate, and optimized the geometry for the rest of the system: H. Yamada, K. Shimizu, M. Nisar, T.
