79. Currently only a low ee value (< 30%) was obtained for acyclic enones. Further studies on such substrates and synthetic utility of the new heterocycles are being explored.
80. The preparation, and potential cycloaddition reaction, of acyclic azomethine imine from N-Boc-N′-benzylhydrazine (Boc = tert-butoxycarbonyl) and benzaldehyde was unsuccessful.
