The relative energies of cyclohexane-1,2-diols and chiral tetrapeptide (2 (Boc) or 3 (Moc)) complexes calculated using DFT indicate a thermodynamic preference for chiral recognition toward (1R,2R)(e,e)-alpha isomer. The barrier for stereoselective acyl transfer is identified as lower for trans-(1R,2R)-cyclohexane-1,2-diol, leading
