19. Throughout this article, the identity of the recovered enantiomer shown is that which is obtained by the catalyst antipode illustrated. Moreover, transformations with binol-based complexes (e.g., 11) were carried out with the opposite antipode of the catalyst versus that illustrated. Because (S)-biphen and (R)-binol complexes were employed in our studies, this adjustment has been made to facilitate comparison between biphen- and binol-based catalysts.
