39. In all illustrations of the chiral enolate shown in this paper the (S)-configuration is arbitrarily used. Three descriptors are necessary to define the two π faces properly. In the case of the (R)-configurated compound the corresponding two hydrogen bonds to the enolate occur at the Si,Si face.

The question of whether methyl versus phenyl is the determining factor in stereoselective reactions of olefins bearing these groups at the stereogenic allylic position has been discussed for other systems: R.
