17. In the most closely related example, Canary et al. employed a related chiral relay approach for controlling the helical symmetry of metal complexes derived from neutral tripodal tripyridyl ligands: Canary, J. W.; Allen, C. S.; Castagnetto, J. M.; Wang, Y. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1995, 117, 8484.

20. The configuration of the newly formed stereocenter of amine (R,R)-8 was assigned as (R) from an established literature precedent for addition of methyllithium to this class of chiral imine and subsequently confirmed from analysis of the X-ray crystal structure of (R,M)-12. See: Bernardinelli, G.; Fernandez, D.; Gosmini, R.; Meier, P.; Ripa, A.; Schupfer, P.; Treptow, B.; Kundig, E. P. Chirality 2000, 12, 529.
21. A similarly poor yield was obtained for addition of methyllithium to the structurally related imine (R)-13 under these conditions. See: Kundig, E. P.; Botuha, C.; Lemercier, G.; Romanens, P.; Saudan, L.; Thibault, S. Helv. Chim. Acta 2004, 87, 561. (Chemical Equation Presented)
22. The configuration and enantiomeric purity of amine (R)-9 was confirmed as >95% ee using our recently published NMR chiral derivatization protocol involving treatment with 2-formyl-phenylboronic acid and enantiopure BINOL.
