Origin of the Felkin-Anh(-Eisenstein) Model: a Quantitative Rationalization of a Seminal Concept

Quantum chemical calculations were carried out to quantitatively understand the origin of the Felkin–Anh(–Eisenstein) model, widely used to rationalize the π-facial stereoselectivity in the nucleophilic addition reaction to carbonyl groups directly attached to a stereogenic center. To this end, the...
