35. Imine 13a was readily prepared by a procedure based on those described by: T. N. Van, N. De Kimpe, Tetrahedron 2000, 56, 7969;
36. B. G. Davis, M. A. T. Maughan, T. M. Chapman, R. Villard, S. Courtney, Org. Lett. 2002, 4, 103; for optimum results, 13a is stored as the corresponding HCl salt 5a to minimize oxidation by air.
37. The use of heterocuprates or fewer than 1.5 equivalents of the homocuprate gave inferior results.
38. The isolation and purification of 10a prior to its reduction is not required, but is recommended for optimum results.
39. The product of a boatlike transition state has not been observed.
40. The use of the corresponding O-TMS derivative of 10e was found to be optimal; for a review, see: D. Enders, U. Reinhold, Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 1997, 8, 1895.
41. Competitive hydrolysis of the initial 1,4-addition product occurs during workup.

50. The suggested mode of catalysis is based on prior reports on related transformations (see reference [16]).
51. The use of TFE-water as the solvent mixture led to products (Table 2) with 5-10% ee.
