18. The relative configuration of the ligand 7 was unambiguously established by X-ray crystallographic analysis (ref 18).
19. The absolute configuration of the ascorbate has no effect on the asymmetric induction; in the addition to 1a using (+)-ascorbate, 7 and ent-7 furnished enantiomeric products of identical % ee.
20. We found that a 2:1 ligand/copper ratio led to complete inhibition of the reaction.
