61. The optimal amount of ligand was determined for 4d as follows: Using a 3% molar amount of ligand, and performing the reaction in hexane, conversion was 96% after 21 h and the enantiomeric excess of the resulting alcohol was 84%. With a 6% molar amount of ligand, conversion was >99% after 3 h, and ee was 89%. No further improvement m enantioselectivity was recorded by increasing the amount of ligand employed.
