20. We have examined the effect of mole ratio of (S)-3:La, and found that almost 1:1 gave the best results: 0.5:1, 83.2% yield, 56.0% ee; 1:1, 90.5% yield, 86.1% ee; 1.5:1, 66.3% yield, 85.8% ee; 2:1, 55.7% yield, 85.5% ee.
21. We also investigated the effect of stirring time of forming catalyst on the results, and found that stirring 12 h gave the better results. For examples: 1 h, 85.6% yields, 81.8% ee; 3 h, 87.7% yields, 83.2% ee; 5h, 89.1% yields, 85.5% ee; 7 h, 89. 1% yields, 85.5% ee; 90.5% yields, 86.1% ee; 15h, 90.3%, 86.2% ee.
