The selectivity is rather dependent on the differential electron-withdrawing abilities of the heteroatoms that translate further into differential vicinal→*C=O interactions in the ground states of the molecules. The heightened axial selectivity of the azaspecies is probably due to hydrogen bonding of nitrogen with the solvent that enhances its electron withdrawing ability further.
