44. It has been reported that extremely high enantioselectivity (99%) was obtained in the enantioselective protonation of a lithium enolate of a thiol ester by using N-isopropylephedrine as a chiral proton source, see: refs 2t and 3h.

46. The enantioselectivity was lowered when 4.0 equiv of HMPA was used in the reaction. For example, with this amount of HMPA as an additive, only 13% ee was obtained in the case of protonation using 8 as the chiral proton source.
47. Due to the high oxophilicity and high coordination number of samarium, the chiral proton source, HMPA, and solvent THF are probably coordinated to the samarium ion in the transition state.

49. One important strategy for preparing α-substituted-γ-butyrolactone is stereoselective alkylation of lithium enolate of γ-butyrolactone, for examples, see: (a) Hanessian, S.; Murray, P. J. Org. Chem. 1987, 52, 1170-1172.
