17. O-Diphenylphosphinyl oxime. Unstable O-phosphinyl oximes (cf. Lopez, L.; Barrans, J. J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1 1977, 1806-1811) rearrange thermally to N-phosphinyl imines via the radical mechanism (cf. Brown, C.; Hudson, R. F.; Maron, A.; Record, K. A. F. J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 1976, 663-664).
18. Typical reaction time reported in Ref. 13 was 72 h at room temperature.
19. The stereochemistry of the major product was not assigned. However, the stereochemistry shown in Scheme 4 follows the direction of the induction from Ref. 13.
