I am exploring the fascinating diverse facets of a recently published laboratory experiment for undergraduate students.[cite]10.1021/acs.jchemed.7b00566[/cite] Previously I looked at a possible mechanistic route for the reaction between an enal (a conjugated aldehyde-alkene) and benzyl chloride catalysed by base and a chiral amine, followed by the use of NMR coupling constants to assign relative stereochemistries.
