43. Several ligand-Lewis acid combinations were also evaluated. Of these, magnesium salts with ligand 9a gave the best results.
44. 3SiH; TMS = trimethylsilyl), tributyltin hydride gave the addition products most efficiently (clean with very few byproducts) and with the highest enantioselectivity.
45. The catalytic loading was varied from 10 to 100 mol %. The enantioselectivity remained nearly constant (ca. 80% ee) for loadings between 20 and 75 mol %.
46. The higher enantioselectivities observed for 8a and 8f at 30 mol % catalytic loading are not an experimental artifact. Further experimentation is required to identify the origin(s) of this anomaly.

48. This model is similar to that proposed by Metzger and coworkers in their work on diastereoselective H-atom transfer reactions with methylene glutarates (see ref. [7a]).
49. At the present time we do not have a clear picture of the influence of the chiral ligand on the rotamer geometry of the ester substituent and its impact on the observed enantioselectivity.
