42. We have conducted a reaction of benzaldehyde with 2a in the presence of catalyst III under the same reaction conditions: no reaction occurred. This eliminates a possible Baylis-Hillman-involved cascade process.
43. 3NH(C=S)NH provides the optimal results in many cases.
44. The absolute stereoconfiguration of compound 3b is determined by X-ray crystal structure (see Supporting Information for details).
