Abstract
The calculation by the semi-empirical molecular orbital method concerning the mechanism of the effective asymmetric alkylation utilizing a chiral Schiff base derived from 2-hydroxy-3-pinanone (2) has revealed that the factor which controls the stereoselectivity is mainly the influence of the lithium and THF ligands. The result has demonstrated the proposed hypothesis which is based on many experiments.
