121. 1H NMR spectroscopy in the recognition-mediated reaction mixture. To calculate the log(relative d.r.) value, we have assumed that the final concentration of the endo adduct is just below the limit of detection (about 50 μM). Therefore, the value for log(relative d.r.) given for System 6 almost certainly underestimates the diastereoselectivity of this system.
