= Nguyễn Trọng Anh
{c}
<Nguyễn Trọng Anh> is associated with the <Felkin-Anh model> of stereoselective <nucleophilic addition> to a carbonyl beside a stereogenic centre. The model connects substrate conformation and electronic interactions with the preferred face of attack.
Its usefulness is conditional: an open, non-chelating pathway can favour a different product from a metal-chelated pathway. Comparing these possibilities makes the model a mechanistic prediction under specified conditions rather than a universal stereochemical rule.<Felkin-Anh and Cram Chelate by University of Windsor>[Pages 1–2, open and chelated pathways]{ref}
