Origin of enantioselectivity in CF3-PIP-catalyzed kinetic resolution of secondary benzylic alcohols
Computational studies provide support for the involvement of intermolecular pi-interactions in the chiral recognition of secondary benzylic alchols by the enantioselective acyl transfer catalyst CF3-PIP.
