35. The (-)-sparteine complex of lithiomethylindene delivers carbonyl adducts with high enantiomeric excesses, but all attempts to achieve enantioselective alkylations have failed so far [13]. Despite that, (-)-sparteine was used, since better regioselectivities were observed in comparison to the lithium TMEDA complex.

50. The configuration and the enantiomeric purity of (-)-18 or of its precursors could not be assessed. In analogy to the cyclopropane 14, the proposed absolute configuration and a high enantiomeric excess are most likely.
51. The enantiomeric excess could not be determined.
