10. The use of other solvents (DCM, toluene) required elevated temperatures (23-50°C) for the reaction to go to completion, and resulted in lower yields (88-95%)
11. The major isomer was determined to have trans configuration by NOE experiments
12. 3H (2 mol%) in toluene (7.5 mL/g vs 5) was added benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal (1.5 equiv) as a solution in toluene, slowly over 2 h. A mixture of methanol and toluene was distilled off over the course of the reaction under slight vacuum (200 Torr) to minimize esterification of the carbamate starting material. Toluene was continually added through the distillation to maintain the approximate starting volume
13. The de was determined at methyl ester 8b via SFC (Chiralcel OF column)
14. and were identified by LCMS of the crude reaction mixture of 7 with iodine in MeOH

16. In a simplified system, water acidified to pH 1, 2, 3, and 5 by aqueous HCl was used in the iodocyclization deprotection of Alloc-phenylglycine methyl ester. The reaction was monitored by HPLC over 24 h. No noticeable differences were observed between the reactions
17. 2 (3 × 15 mL). The organic and aqueous layers were quantitatively assayed by HPLC for product
