25. Xing et al. (ref 12) previously determined the ee of 6 by NMR analysis of the dipeptide of 6 formed with serine. However, in our hands, this method proved to be unreliable, as the major proton peaks of the two diastereomers were insufficiently resolved to allow accurate integration of the peaks.
