demanding: Significant steric demand is isolated to the small (iPr) substituent in the oxazaborolidine‐catalyzed borane (CBS) reduction of 2′,5′‐dimethylisobutyrophenone. Computed transition‐structure models (see picture) demonstrate that nearly equivalent steric demand can be achieved from conformationally distinct transition structures.

丁苯酮中的小(i Pr)取代基上有很大的空间需求。计算的过渡结构模型(见图)表明,构象不同的过渡结构可以实现几乎相同的空间需求。
