Diastereoselective Synthesis Using Felkin-Anh Model
The diastereoselective synthesis process involves the strategic manipulation of stereochemistry using the Felkin-Anh model. By understanding the interactions between different substituents and the carbonyl group, chemists can control the outcome of reactions to favor specific diastereomers. This approach, as demonstrated in the provided images and descriptions, showcases the importance of spatial orientation in achieving desired stereochemical outcomes in organic synthesis.
