36. Although we could directly submit the crude imine to the nucleophilic addition conditions, only decomposition occurred upon treatment with alkyllithium reagents. This is presumably due to the competitive enolization reaction of the alkylimine.

38. Additives such as DMPU, TMEDA, and HMPA were also tested, but no increase in the diastereocontrol could be observed. The addition of Lewis acids was also not effective in improving the selectivities.
39. Although the role of DME is not clear, it certainly decreases the aggregation state of methyllithium. See for example: Deacon, G. B.; Forsyth, C. M.; Scott, N. M. J. Chem. Soc., Dalton Trans. 2001, 2494-2501.
