52. A known scalemic mixture of lithium N-methyl-N-(α-methylbenzyl)amide 9 (33% ee, enriched in (R)-9) was used in the same three-step protocol (conjugate addition, aldol and Cope elimination) to generate authentic material of 33% ee to allow unambiguous ee determination.
53. The major diastereoisomer in each case was assigned the syn-configuration by analogy to that unambiguously confirmed upon aldol reaction of 10 and 11 with acetaldehyde.
