60. The decreased yield of isolated 1,3-oxazolidine was due to hydrolysis during work-up or column chromatographic purification which was necessary for preparing an analytical sample.

64. As the reaction of 1 with benzaldehyde approaches rt, the initially formed cis isomer was converted to the trans isomer and the dr (cis:trans) changes to 72:38 (at ∼10 °C). When the reaction was performed in aldehyde medium at rt, the observed dr was 1.22:1.0 (cis:trans). The enantioselectivity of product 3f increased up to 62% when the reaction was carried out at -25 °C. There was no change in ee upon further lowering of the reaction temperature.
65. Decrease in ee is probably due to partial racemization of the product at the benzylic position in acidic medium.
