39. Complex 1 can be stored in a vial under a non-inert atmosphere for several weeks without noticeable decomposition. With time, the complex tends to be hydrated and becomes green. A simple purification by flash chromatography can lead to the initial clean complex.
40. The absolute configuration was determined by comparison of the optical rotation of compounds 2a, 2h, 2i, and 2j with the literature and by extrapolation for others.

50. The side product ratios for the reactions are dependent on the starting aldehyde. When benzaldehyde was used as the starting material, the ratios were 3/34/40/20/3 (benzaldehyde/2a/3a/4a/5a).
