110. The complex was prepared according to a literature procedure: D. J. Gulliver, W. Levason, M. Webster, Inorg. Chim. Acta 1981, 52, 153; the amount of methanol molecules contained in the complex was determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis of the complex (unpublished results).

112. A minor trace of phenylethanol (<1%), the product of reduction of acetophenone, was observed by GC analysis.
113. Under the same conditions, without any additional ligand, 3 (1.25 mol%) gave only 20% conversion after a 2-hour reaction.
114. For the preparation, see: D. Tomita, R. Wada, M. Kanai, M. Shibasaki, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 4138.
115. For the preparation of CuOtBu, see: T. Tsuda, T. Hashimoto, T. Saegusa, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1972, 94, 658.
116. Notably, no effect on the reaction rate was observed when using either preprepared CuOtBu or CuOtBu prepared in situ (from CuCl/NaOtBu); for a report on the salt effect on the rate of the enantioselective 1,4-reduction of β,β-disubstituted nitroalkenes when using both methods of CuOtBu preparation, see reference [20 h].
117. For example, monodentate Feringa phosphonite, tridentate tBupybox, and tetradentate Trost ligand gave very low activity and/ or no enantioselectivity.

121. These observations are in contrast to those usually made in other processes using taniaphos-derived ligands containing either alkyl or aromatic substituents on phosphorus atoms. Generally, a change from electron-rich aromatic groups to cyclohexyl groups has a negative effect on the enantioselectivity of the process. For some examples, see: a) B. L. Feringa, R. Badorrey, D.
