43. To maximize the enantioselectivity of the product, the reaction was stopped upon 50-70% conversion.
44. (E)-Cinnamaldehyde, (E)-cinnamic acid, (E)-ethyl cinnamate, and (E)-cinnamamide are all inert to our oxidation conditions.
45. (E)-4,4-Dimethyl-1-phenylpent-1-en-3-one and (E)-4,4-dimethyl-1-phenylpent-2-en-1-one are inert to our oxidation conditions. For other unsuccessful α,β-unsaturated ketones we screened, see: Supplementary data.
46. After work-up, brucine and BNO are isolated in >95% yield as a 9:1 mixture.
