5. As defined for the purposes of this paper, an anion receptor is a synthetic system that achieves recognition through a combination of non-metal-based electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds. After submission of the manuscript an interesting report appeared wherein the authors used a thiourea receptor to catalyze an asymmetric Pictet-Spengler-type ring closure (Raheem, I. T.; Thiara, P. S.; Peterson, E. A.; Jacobsen E. N. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 13404-13405.

(a) Considerable effort has been devoted of late to the generation of supramolecular receptor systems that can promote reactions through hydrogen-bonding interactions with a range of non-anion-releasing substrates (e.g., carbonyl activation).

37. (d) Calixpyrroles, in their neutral, NH forms, generally do not ligate to transition metals. These forms are stable in the absence of all but the most basic conditions. Hence, we believe it is unlikely that the calix[4]pyrrole of this study is functioning as a ligand for Cu and facilitating the aziridination reaction through processes involving metal coordination. This is corroborated by comparison of entries 12 and 13 in Table 1.
38. 2. Remaining insoluble material was removed by filtration through alumina. Purification using column chromatography (silica gel, 1:4 EtOAc/hexanes as eluent) afforded 1.3 g (49% yield) of the aziridine product as a white crystalline solid. Spectro-scopic data were consistent with the product obtained from procedure A.
