A transition state force field (TSFF) was developed using the quantum-guided molecular
mechanics (Q2MM) method to describe the stereodetermining migratory insertion step of the
enantioselective redox-relay Heck reaction for a range of multisubstituted alkenes. We show
that the TSFF is highly predictive through an external validation of the TSFF against 151
experimentally determined stereoselectivities resulting in an R 2 of 0.89 and MUE of 1.8

A transition state force field (TSFF) was developed using the quantum-guided molecular mechanics (Q2MM) method to describe the stereodetermining migratory insertion step of the enantioselective redox-relay Heck reaction for a range of multisubstituted alkenes. We show that the TSFF is highly predictive through an external validation of the TSFF against 151 experimentally determined stereoselectivities resulting in an R2 of 0.89 and MUE of 1.8 kJ/mol. In addition, limitations in the underlying force field were identified by comparison of the TSFF results to DFT level calculations. A novel application of the TSFF was demonstrated for 31 cases where the enantiomer predicted by the TSFF differed from the originally published values. Experimental determination of the absolute configuration demonstrated that the computational predictions were accurate, suggesting that TSFFs can be used for the rapid prediction of the absolute stereochemistry for a class of reactions. Finally, a virtual ligand screen was conducted utilizing both the TSFF and a simple molecular correlation method. Both methods were similarly predictive, but the TSFF was able to show greater utility through transferability, speed, and interpretability.
