20. Matched refers to a favourable configurational relationship of the substrate with the catalyst. The matched substrate will give an ee of product that is closer (or identical) in absolute configuration and magnitude to the intrinsic selectivity of the catalyst as compared to the mismatched. Most often, the matched substrate reacts faster than the mismatched and there will thus be a kinetic resolution process prior to complete reaction.
