16. The anhydrous catalyst was stored in a glovebox. Hydrated catalyst was less effective in aldol reactions. See Supporting Information for X-ray crystallographic data.
17. With the preformed catalyst, conversion increased by 5% and enantioselectivity by 1-2%.
18. Suprisingly, enantioselectivity for p-MeOPhCHO was moderate (62%).

22. Ancillary ligands are omitted for the sake of clarity. The aldol transition state likely involves a five- or six-coordinate nickel complex.
