18. It is useful to distinguish between asymmetric processes in which halogen adds as either an electrophile or a nucleophile. The latter category includes the enantioselective opening of meso epoxides: Jacobsen, E. N. Acc. Chem. Res. 2000, 33, 421-431.

39. Proofs of absolute configuration were determined on the basis of conversion to the known methyl ester and a known α-thio derivative. Stereoregularity was inferred for other products on the basis of these proofs as well as on the basis of computational models. See Supporting Information.

48. Short C-H-O distances have been identified in organic compounds and also in nucleic acid molecules. These interactions have been studied in detail, with an emphasis on the application of crystal correlation studies. Due to their influence in crystal packing, studies are underway to ascertain the extent to which these interactions affect C-H approach to an oxygen atom. For mechanistic and theorical discussions of C-H-O interactions, see: (a) Calhorda, M. J. Chem. Commun. 2000, 801-809.
