Popis: Delineating complex ligand effects on enantioselectivity is a longstanding challenge in asymmetric catalysis. With α-amino acid ligands, the essential difficulty lies in accurately describing integrated perturbations induced by simultaneous variation about the α side chain and N protecting group of the ligand, which hampers an intuitive understanding of the structure–enantioselectivity relationships. To deconvolute such complexity in chiral amino acid enabled enantioselective C–H functionalization reactions, a computational organometallic model system was developed. Whereas a model based only on a conventional results in diminished predictive power, the ground state Pd(II)-based models display an excellent ability to describe the observed enantioselectivity. These structures were leveraged using a multivariate modeling approach to successfully describe Pd(II)-catalyzed C–H alkylation, alkenylation, and two C–H arylation reactions, wherein descriptors of torsion angle, percent buried volume, and NBO charge...
