28. The use of other solvents (toluene, dichloromethane, dichloroethane, THF, DME) led to lower yields and ee. The best result (25% yield, 42% ee) was observed in dichloromethane.
29. It must be noted that both 10 and 11 are less sterically hindered and, hence, are likely to be better catalysts than 5b because they can have a stronger N-oxide/silicon interaction.
