18. Coordination of cyclohexenone appears to be also supported by the fact that BNa-BINOL does not promote Michael reactions.
19. For the bicyclic transition state of nitroaldol reactions, see ref. [1h]. Ab initio calculations of the transition state are also in progress.
20. Carbonyl compounds could also coordinate to the central metal of the heterobimetallic catalyst.
