75. Additon of 1,2,4-triazole from the Re face to iminium ion (E)-12, derived from catalyst 3 and 2-pentenal (2a), leads to the product 4a with R configuration. The X-ray analysis of compound 7c, originating from the reaction between 5-phenyltetrazole and 4-methylpent-2-enal (4d), gave a product with S configuration. The reason for the "change" of chirality is a result of a change in priority between the substituents, and the S configuration of 7c is also consistent with addition from the Re face of iminium ion (E)-12.
