42. Electrospray ionization in MeCN showed diagnostic isotopic distributions consistent with the presence of the above species (see Supporting Information).
43. While not strictly necessary, better and more reproducible results were found when molecular sieves were added to the reaction mixture. For example, compound 25b is produced in only 69% ee in the absence of molecular sieves.
