The diastereoselectivity of the product formation is characterized by the de value of the anti adduct, which was determined by GC analysis of the crude product, or of the corresponding N-trifluoroacetamides, according to the procedure reported in: T.

30. The preponderant formation of syn isomers is generally attributed to a chelated transition state (chelation control), while the anti isomer should arise from an open-chain transition state (non-chelation control). See for instance [14a] M. T. Reetz, Acc. Chem. Res. 1993, 26, 462.
31. [14b] M. T. Reetz Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1991, 30, 556. However, the chelated transition state should be more rigid and more ordered than the open-chain one.
