Note regarding the figure under “Theory”
[edit]In the depicted energy diagram, it appears that the energy difference ΔG between the enantiomers is shown.
However, ΔG = 0, since enantiomers are energetically equivalent in an achiral environment.
The key factor determining enantioselectivity is the difference in transition-state energies (ΔΔG‡).
This could be more accurately illustrated by showing two “double-decker” transition states, representing the preferred reaction pathway. 2001:67C:10EC:5748:8000:0:0:735 (talk) 13:28, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
