12. 2 as a catalyst leads to higher diastereoselectivities, presumably by Lewis acid-catalyzed epimerization of the aminal stereocenter, albeit with diminished yields.
13. Among additives screened, HMPA provided the fastest rates of reaction, but less toxic ligands can be used instead. For example, aminohydroxylation of styrene proceeds in 81% and 89% yield using 5 mol % of DMPU and pyridine, respectively (see Supporting Information).
