16. (R)-LLB 2a also promoted nitroaldol reactions of other simple ketones in high enantioselectivity, albeit in poor yields. Ketone 3d (90% ee, 5% yield); 3e (89% ee, 20% yield).

22. The s values in this paper were calculated based on conversion and ee of recovered 4 assuming first-order kinetic dependence on 4. Kinetic studies are required to determine accurate s values.

29. Because the known synthetic methods of racemic tertiary nitroaldols did not afford satisfactory yield for 4f, we developed a new synthetic method. See Supporting Information for details.

Although it is impossible to discuss quantitatively using MS, we believe the ESI-MS data at least suggested the presence of mixed-ligand La-Li complexes in the mixture of LLB 2a and LLB* 2b. NMR analysis only resulted in a complex mixture spectrum.
