Zipse and co-workers have also calculated the benzhydryl cation and benzyl cation affinities of quinine and its building blocks at the MP2(FC)/6-31+G(2d, p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level to explore why benzyl bromide reacts selectively at the Nsp3 center of cinchona alkaloids while benzhydrylium ions react selectively at the Nsp2 center.
