Abstract
The reactions of nitronates of ring-substituted phenylnitromethanes and enolates of ring- substituted 1-phenyl-2-propanones with MeOBs gave exclusively the O-methylated and C- methylated products, respectively. DFT calculations suggested that two factors, namely, intrinsic barriers and metal-cation coordination, control the C/O selectivity. The kinetic preference for O-methylation in the reactions of nitronates arises from the intrinsic barriers, ...
