22. (a) However, with a warm-cool cycle, formation of diastereomeric products and the lowering of 10 er (56:44) is observed.
23. (b) The yield based on kinetic resolution of racemic 9a is 56%. No alternate procedure for α-substitution of amino ring juncture, a feature present in a variety of alkaloids, is available.
24. It also emphasizes the need of more refined solvent treatment, desirably taking into account local and bulk effects, in computations of lithiation-substitution chemistry especially when the observed selectivity is opposite to gas phase predictions or is seemingly counterintuitive.
