16. The optical resolution of another diacylaniline 3e bearing a bulky acyl group could not be achieved by using HPLC on a chiral stationary phase. This disappointed result could be due to decomposition of 3e by a chiral column. (formula presented)
17. The absolute configuration of 3a-d could not be determined.
