27. The corresponding pyroglutamic acids were isolated from the diastereomerically pure nickel(II) complexes (as depicted in Scheme 2) and their spectroscopic and optical properties compared with the literature data (ref. [6]).
28. Exceptions were cases where α-(R) absolute configuration is a consequence of the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority (see ref. [16]) and also some aldol addition reactions where the α-(R) stereochemistry is a result of the rearrangement of the corresponding aldol products forming the β-hydroxy-coordinated complexes. For general patterns of reactivity and stereocontrol properties of complex (S)-1, see ref. [15].
