48. 2 imine about the axis linking it to the Zr. We think such "imine rotation" unlikely with an early transition metal, where the complex is better described as a metallaaziridine.
49. 1 isomerization (Paul C under Mechanism), accelerated by the steric demands of the Me and Ph substituents, affects enantiomer interconversion even for 7.

55. S values for 2c (obtained by kinetic simulation) are reported as the standard deviation of each rate constant for two data sets.
56. We know, from ref 1, that kinetic resolution leaves zirconaaziridine enriched in the R enantiomer for 1a and 1d and assumes that the configuration is the same in the other cases.
