42. 23 We have several contrary experimental results concerning this proposal, and the present paper is thought to be one of them. Precise discussion will be reported in due course. In addition, these results may open a door to develop chiral Lewis acid catalysis in enantioselective reactions of aldimines with silylated nucleophiles, which is one of the most difficult and challenging themes.
