34. The main goal of this study is an improved understanding of the mechanistic course of the reaction and to find out which step is decisive for the experimentally observed selectivity. For the calculation of the relative rate constant and the enantiomeric excess, the theoretical values were used with an accuracy of ±0.01 kcal/mol. It must be noted, however, that the error bars of AMI calculations are larger than that. Furthermore, the neglect of entropy effects leads to an additional uncertainty of more than 0.01 kcal/mol.

(P)-6f had previously been obtained by ring opening of racemic 6f with chiral O-nucleophiles, atropo-diastereomeric resolution, followed by saponification of the stereo-pure esters and subsequent recyclization, though in moderate yields and not fully enantiomerically pure.

Under different reaction conditions, the kinetic resolution of racemic 14 with 1.1 equiv of (S)-4 and with catechol borane as the reductant (2.0 equiv in toluene or 0.2 equiv in THF) gave weak preferences in favor of (P)-7f (er 60:40 and 77:23, respectively) at < 20% conversion (20 °C), see: Bringmann, G.; Breuning, M.
