110. The isolated product proved to be unstable upon standing in toluene at room temperature in the presence of 2a, but was stable under the same reaction conditions in the absence of catalyst 2a.
111. The absolute configuration was determined on the basis of optical rotation comparison. See the Supporting Information for further details.
