31. 2Zn can be used as deprotonating agent in alkynylation, due to its lower reactivity towards aldehydes: Cozzi, P. G.; Rudolph, J.; Bolm, C.; Norrby, P.-O.; Tomasini, C. J. Org. Chem. 2005, 70, 5733-5736.
32. An important green chemistry approach to more efficient asymmetric reactions was reported by Walsh, see: Jeon, S.-J.; Li, H.; Walsh, P. J. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 16416-16425.
33. Linear aliphatic aldehydes were also tested; Hydrocinnamic aldehyde gives 86% ee, and octanal gives 81% ee. With cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde (Table 2, entry 12, 68% yield) only unreacted aldehyde and the desired product were observed by GC/MS and TLC after quenching.
