21. trans-Stereochemistry was confirmed in 3a by hydrolysis of the tert-butyl ester and comparison with an authentic sample, and in 3e by X-ray crystal-structure analysis.
22. We also found that using quinuclidine in place of DABCO produced 3a in similar yield.
23. Phenacyl chloride did not react with the more hindered chiral amine.
24. See supporting information for details chiral HPLC analysis.
25. No cyclopropane formation was observed when the reaction was carried out with styrene instead of the electron-deficient alkenes which suggests that the reaction does not proceed through a carbene mechanism.
26. In the case of methyl vinyl ketone, 3.0 equiv was used because of its volatility. In the other cases only 1.5 equiv of the alkene was used.
