Abstract
The performance of various density functionals along with second-order perturbation treatments has been tested for a set of conjugate addition reactions relevant to stereoselective organocatalysis. It is shown that B3LYP predictions seriously underestimate the reaction energies, whereas two newly designed functionals (M05-2X and M06-2X) and the SCS-MP2 method provide very accurate data. These new methods represent promising alternative approaches in future mechanistic studies.Year: 2007 PMID: 17854198 DOI: 10.1021/ol701872z
