62. It should be noted that different substituents at the β-carbon atom of the iminium-ion intermediate could change the priority of the prochiral center, thereby switching the nomenclature of the considered enantiotopic face. Thus, the efficient shielding of the catalyst takes place at the Si face or Re face when the β substituent of the iminium-ion intermediate is a methyl or an aryl group, respectively; see I.
