32. See the Supporting Information for further details and full characterization. Epoxidation was accomplished with Shi's protocol (Z. Wang, Y. Tu, M. Frohn, J. Zhang, Y. Shi, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, 11 224-11 235) and epoxide opening with Singaram's conditions (see reference [14]).
33. The enantiomers of the predicted catalysts P1, P4, and P5 were synthesized and yielded the enantiomer (R) opposite to that predicted (S).
