Nonbonding interactions and stereoselection in the Corey-Bakshi-Shibata reduction.
Deuterium kinetic isotope effect measurements upon enantiotopic methyl groups for the Corey-Bakshi-Shibata reduction of 2',5'-dimethylphenyl isopropyl ketone suggest a complex role for nonbonding interactions in the mediation of stereoselection.
