Description Diagram of the Flippin-Lodge angle of nucleophilic attack on a carbonyl compound. The greater the angle ψ, the more the nucleophile approaches from the side of the substituent R′. For example, it had been calculated that hydride, H, attacks pivalaldehyde, tBuCHO with a Flippin-Lodge angle of 7°. This avoids the steric clash of H and tBu. Based on a diagram on p. 160 of Fleming, Ian (2009) Molecular Orbitals and Organic Chemical Reactions (Student ed.), John Wiley & Sons Ltd ISBN: 978-0-470-74659-2.
