47. Slow addition of iPrOH was unnecessary in this system to ensure high enantioselectivity. For a detailed discussion of the role of protic additives, see Ref. [2e,g]. For examples in this area of adding a protic additive to achieve good results, see: Ref. [2e-g,l,3f-h] and X. H. Liu, B. Qin, X. Zhou, B. He, X. M. Feng, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 12224.
