21. On the basis of chiral HPLC analysis, it was determined that (S,S)-1a-(Sm) and (S,S)-1a-(Gd) complexes fumished products possessing the same (illustrated) absolute stereochemistry.
22. The rate of reaction using piperylene was at least 7.4 and 10.0 times greater than with 13 when catalyzed by complexes 1a-(Sm) and 1a-(Gd), respectively, as determined by chiral HPLC analysis.
