15. A 2-3% increase in ee was observed with 4b-d under similar conditions.
16. The S configuration was established by comparison of the optical rotation with published values and, for 6t, by comparison of retention times of the corresponding acetate derivative (GC, β-DEX column). For 6b, f, h, r the S configuration has been assumed.
