A Chiral Borinate Aldol Reaction Product
The following model represents a product-like transition state for the following aldol reaction:
(Z)-CH3C[OB(Ipc)2]=CHCH3 + CH2=C(CH3)CHO
In the model, carbon atoms are dark gray, hydrogen is cyan, oxygen is red and boron is green. The newly formed bond is colored violet, and is longer (2.28 Å), as expected for a transition state. A "Show Feature" button presents a ball & stick rendering of the moiety specified, the remaining model being displayed as a framework.
