67. the absolute configuration of 13 is unknown. The absolute configuration of 14 (35) was determined by optical rotation, see: b) G. H. Posner, M. Hulce, Tetrahedron Lett. 1984, 25, 379-382; the absolute configuration for 15 was not determined.

69. One of the referees pointed out that a "positional scanning" approach would have been highly productive here. For instance, starting with ligand 5dfp (28% ee), a positional scan would have led to 5dhp (44% ee), then to 5dhq (65% ee), and finally 5ehq (80% ee); this is comparable to the best ligand 5bhr (82% ee).
