The methodology of rational design of NADH mimics in stereoselective reduction of carbonyl and imino groups based on molecular orbital calculation was described. The designed NADH mimics la and Ib were subjected to the reduction of benzoylformate and acetyliminophenylacetate. As expected from the calculations of the transition-states, the reduction with la proceeded with high stereoselectivity in both substrates, while Ib showed much lower chirality transfer.
