34. Using 1.1 equiv of pivaldehyde is ideal for the reaction. Using more equivalents of aldehyde results in formation of the trimer byproduct 10; see Denmark, S. E.; Wilson, T.; Willson, T. M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120, 984.

36. The reaction was performed at -100 °C; however the rate of reaction was greatly reduced and the selectivity was not improved.
37. Heating to higher temperatures (>0 °C) results in some decomposition.

47. (a) To obtain a clean reaction product, the order of addition of thionyl chloride and pyridine is essential. Thionyl chloride is added first, followed by pyridine. (b) A mild wash with aqueous ammonium chloride is necessary to remove sulfur impurities, which can poison Pd/C and render the hydrogenation to (S)-1 ineffective.
48. Alkylation of (S,S)-2 with cyclohexyl iodide was unsuccessful. The more expensive 3-bromocyclohexene undergoes smooth alkylation to provide the alkylated adduct in 77% yield with >98:2 selectivity, which after hydrogenation followed by hydrolysis provides (S)-1 in 97% ee in high yields. This alkylation chemistry is a facile entry to (S)-1. However, the availability of the bromocyclohexenyl in large scale limits practicality. matrix presented
