49. The experimental procedure was the same as that given by Mikami et al. The catalyst was obtained as dark red rectangular crystals. A single crystal structure analysis was made of a suitable crystal. The complex was found to crystallize in the cubic space group F43c. a = b = c = 32.348 Å; R1 = 0.049, wR2 = 0.118. Crystallographic data have been deposited at the Cambridge Crystal Data Centre (CCDC 279234). This material can be obtained upon request to CCDC, 12 Union Road, Cambridge 1EZ, U.K. (http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk; email: deposit@ccdc.cam.ac.uk). The structure was refined with SHELX97 (Sheldrick, G.M. SHELX97. Program for the Refinement of Crystal Structures; Universität Göttingen: Göttingen, 1997.)
50. So far, the catalysts loadings for similar reactions range usually between 2 and 20 mol %; recently, Ding et al. presented an enantioselective carbonyl-ene reaction with comparable low catalyst loadings: Yuan, Y.; Zhang, X.; Ding, K. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2003, 42, 5478.
51. 4), and filtered, and the ether was removed in vacuo. Column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) afforded the pure aldols. Yields have not been optimized. Large amounts of recovered aldehyde indicate the necessity to use longer reacion times or higher reaction temperatures in some cases.
