The parameterization of a transition state force field for the title reaction is described. Validation for 82 literature examples leads to a MUE of 1.8 kJ/mol and an R2 of 0.877 between computed and experimental stereoselectivities. The use if the TSFF is demonstrated for a virtual library of 27 ligands and 59 enones. <br>

The application of the Quantum Guided Molecular Mechanics (Q2MM) method to transition states of enzymatic reactions to generate a transition state force field (TSFF) with the functional form of AMBER. The differences to fitting of small-molecule TSFFs and the similarities of the approach to transfer learning are discussed. The application to the transition state of the second hydride transfer in HMGCoA Reductase from Pseudomonas mevalonii is discussed. <br><br>

AbstractThe palladium-catalyzed enantioselective allylic substitution by carbon or nitrogen nucleophiles is a key transformation that is particularly useful for the synthesis of bioactive compounds. Unfortunately, the selection of a suitable ligand/substrate combination often requires significant screening effort. Here, we show that a transition state force field (TSFF) derived by the quantum-guided molecular mechanics (Q2MM) method can be used to rapidly screen ligand/substrate combinations. Testing of this method on 77 literature reactions revealed several cases where the computationally predicted major enantiomer differed from the one reported. Interestingly, experimental follow-up led to a reassignment of the experimentally observed configuration. This result demonstrates the power of mechanistically based methods to predict and, where necessary, correct the stereochemical outcome.
