24. Desilylation of the 93:7 mixture of diastereomers in 12h was effected by 2% HF in 10% acetonitrile-water for 1 h at room temperature. The corresponding hydroxy product was completely separated from its diastereomer by radial chromatography on silica (hexane-ethyl acetate). However, it was subsequently found that the silylated derivative 12h could also be separated, and this was, therefore, carried forward to (S)-15.
25. The diastereotopic benzylic protons in the Mosher esters of 16 provided an excellent probe for determining the enantiomeric purity when examined at 300 MHz.

51. RS-33 was obtained by the usual copper mediated Ullmann coupling of 2-bromo-3,5-dimethyl oxazoline and, in this case, gave only a 3:1 mixture of (SSS)-33 and (SSR)-33. It is noteworthy that the R (axial configuration only) diastereomer prevailed slightly under these conditions. This is another example where the nature of the aromatic substituents affected coupling stereochemistry. It also may be that Cu-π interaction is somehow involved in determining stereochemistry.

A recent report by Chan has also demonstrated that other chiral substrates (chiral 1,3-dioxanes) on the aryl halide can be utilized to form moderately diastereo-enriched biphenyls (7:2) in the Ullmann coupling: Qiu L., Qi J., Pai G., Chan S., Zhou Z., Choi M., Chan A.S.C.
