23. We cannot exclude the possibility that the conversion rate of 1a·2 from one twist sense to another may be reduced at low temperatures. If this is the case, the helix-sense excess values (Table 1) were overestimated.

30. We attempted to separate enantiomers of (+)- and (-)-3a by using chiral HPLC to determine their helix-sense excess (enantiomeric excess), but it was found to be difficult.
