Abstract
The organocatalytic transfer hydrogenation reactions of 3-phenyl-2-cyclopentenone with imidazolidinone catalysts are evaluated using the hybrid density functional (B3LYP/6-31G(d)) theory. The origin of the preference for the (E) iminium transition state is determined, and the stereoselectivity of hydride transfer is investigated.Entities:
