Prediction of enantioselectivity in rhodium catalyzed hydrogenations.

Using the Q2MM method, new molecular mechanics parameters were developed to perform initial screening of a chiral library to focus the experimental screening for the rhodium catalyzed hydrogenation of enamides. Computational predictions agree very well with experimental data.
