21. Under the optimized reaction conditions (-)-11 is readily purified by crystallization, which allows the preparation of (-)-11 on a greater than 20-gram scale with equal efficiency and without the use of flash chromatography.
22. This bromination reaction was more selective (12/13, 16:84) in favor of the exo-diastereomer when performed at -40°C. Alternatively, bromination reactions conducted at 40°C led to a slight excess (12/13, 52:48) of the endo diastereomer contaminated with by-products arising from bromination of the aniline ring.
23. 2Ph was most effective compared to other sulfonyl derivatives (>5).
