31. The absolute stereochemistry of 9 has been determined by analysis of the X-ray crystal structure of an imide derivative (see the Supporting Information). From the comparison of HPLC traces run under identical conditions,our studies indicate that the incorrect absolute stereoisomer was reported in reference [8d].
