7. In a small-scale reaction, the yield of recovered (R)-2b was determined by GC on a Shimadzu GC-15A instrument using a J&W Scientific DB-1 capillary column. Dodecane was employed as an internal standard. The enantiomeric excess of the ketone was determined by GC using a chiral column (SUPELCO, α-DEX120).
