The conjugate addition of aryl boronic acids to enones is a powerful synthetic tool to introduce quaternary chiral centers, but the experimentally observed stereoselectivities vary widely, and the identification of suitable substrate-ligand combinations requires significant effort. We describe the development and application of a transition-state force field (TSFF) by the quantum-guided molecular mechanics (Q2MM) method that is validated using an automated screen of 9 ligands, 38 aryl boronic acids, and 22 enones, leading to a MUE of 1.8 kJ/mol and a R2 value of 0.877 over 82 examples. A detailed error analysis identified the structural origin for the deviations in the small group of outliers. The TSFF was then used to predict the stereoselectivity for 27 ligands and 59 enones. The vast majority of the virtual screening results are in line with the expected results. Selected results for 6-substituted pyrox ligands, which were not part of the training set, were followed up by density functional theory and experimental studies.
