In one experiment, careful chromatography of the crude product from the reaction of 7 with styrene afforded a minor amount (1.4%) of a third isomer that apparently had arisen from reaction syn to the tert-butyl group. This conclusion was reached on the basis of an 8.4% NOE enhancement between the aminal and α-protons in the NMR spectrum.
