17. The reason for low enantioselectivities in the case of N-halosuccinimide is not clear. The coordination of N-halosuccinimide and/or produced succinimide to zinc in 4 might change the ideal structure of the intermediate to lower the enatioselectivities.

19. If the intermediate 3 was produced completely by the reaction of alkylzinc moiety in 2 with aldoxime, the kind of alkyl group in dialkylzinc would not influence the chemical yield and enantio-selectivity. The fact that those were altered depending on the used dialkylzinc might indicate the incompletion of the reaction of methyl- and ethylzinc moiety in 2 with aldoxime.
