A semiempirical study of the conformational behavior of cinchonidine and its interaction with methyl pyruvate

Hydrogenation of methyl pyruvate on a palladium or platinum surface in the presence of cinchona alkaloids leads to a high degree of enantiodifferentiation. In the present study, the semiempirical AM1 and PM3 methods are employed to perform a detailed analysis of the conformational behavior of cincho...
