24. It has been shown that in some cases an acid additive can improve the catalytic activity in asymmetric Michael addition reactions. See ref 8a. See also: (a) Review: Vogel, E. M.; Gröger, H.; Shibasaki, M. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 1999, 38, 1570-1577.

27. No substantial change of ee and dr was observed when using 10 equiv of 4, but the reaction was retarded significantly (84 h, 98% yield).
28. The corresponding benzene analogue showed no catalytic activity.
