26. The π stacking has also been proposed by Hayashi to account for the high catalytic activity of a chiral 2,2′-bipyridine-N,N-bisoxide.[4]

31. While this work was in progress, Nakajima published the same synthesis of (+)-11, including the resolution with -(-)-binol.[3d] However, this synthesis was mentioned as a footnote without specifying the conditions and the absolute configuration of (+)-11 was not determined.
32. F(obs) = 0.0395.
33. Investigation of the allylation of 1a with 2, catalyzed by -(+)-11 of 29%, 50%, and 75% ee, respectively, has demonstrated a fully linear relationship between the enantiopurity of the catalyst and the product. In these experiments, the resulting product 3a was of 27%, 45%, and 71% ee, respectively.
34. Chloroform has been shown to be the solvent that most strongly stabilizes the arene-arene interactions: G. A. Breault, C. A. Hunter, P. C. Mayers, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120, 3402.

41. Hayashi has proposed π-π stacking of 1 and the catalysts but, in his case, the variation of the enantioselectivity was less dramatic (94% ee for 1d and 56% ee for 1l as the extremes of the scale).[4] Furthermore, his catalyst gave the best results in MeCN, which is known not to support arene-arene interactions,[15] thus suggesting that his and our catalyst may operate through a different mode of interactions.
