40. The addition of MS 5 Å had beneficial effects on the reaction rate but did not affect the enantiomeric excess. Similar effects of molecular sieves were observed in related reactions using zinc catalysts and hydroxy ketones as donors; see, a) S. Harada, N. Kumagai, T. Kinoshita, S. Matsunaga, M. Shibasaki, J.

51. The diastereoselectivity of the reaction with the imine from benzaldehyde was improved by using the bulkier 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl imine (syn/anti = 78:22, syn: 95% ee); however, reactivity decreased significantly (27% yield).
