76. An aldimine derived from p-methoxyaniline exhibited lower enantioselectivity.
77. The nine-membered cyclic structure was observed as one of the energy minima of the complex derived from 2a and 4a by quantum chemical calculations (PM3, Spartan'02, Wavefunction, Inc.).
78. We suppose pyridine would not participate in the transition state but may stabilize Brassard's diene in the reaction.
