35. For the majority of substrates, elevated temperatures (50°C) were required for reactivity (e.g., for 2d 25°C, 26% yield, 86% ee; 50°C, 70% yield, 90% ee).
36. The reaction proceeds in a cleaner fashion if the Grignard is prepared in situ to avoid byproducts arising from oxidation of the organometallic.
