48. There has been some confusion because the quadrant diagram has been used both to correlate the catalyst structure with the product stereochemistry and also to predict or explain the structure of the catalyst-substrate complex (often incorrectly). Here we use it for the latter purpose. (a) Knowles, W. S. Acc. Chem. Res. 1983, 16, 106-112. (b) Komarov, I. V.; Börner, A. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2001, 40, 1197-1200.

See Marinetti, A.; Jus, S.; Genet, J.-P. Tetrahedron Lett. 1999, 40, 8365-8368. Some skepticism has been expressed as to their conclusions, see footnote 21 in Landis, C. R.; Feldgus, S. Angew.

61. Although diastereomeric equilibration is not impossible, previous studies of iridium dihydrides have shown that isomerization only occurs above -50 °C. see refs 30, 31.
62. We cannot eliminate the possibility that it is simply the predominance of the observed isomer, rather than its faster rate of reaction, that is responsible for the enantioselectivity.
63. Note that the native selectivities of the P/S ligand and the substrate are reinforcing in these complexes, that is, the former prefers addition parallel to the thioether, and the latter prefers addition parallel to the olefin.
