42. Ligand 8 was still unable to accelerate the reaction catalyzed by 1b under the optimized conditions (0 % conv., 7d, THF, 60 °C, 0.5 M); compound 1b being prepared using Kündig's protocol: E. P. Kündig, F. R. Monnier. Adv. Synth. Catal. 346, 901 (2004).
43. The enantiopure primary amines were commercially available or readily prepared following literature precedents. (R)-1,2-diphenylethanamine was obtained from the racemate using a semi-preparative CSP-HPLC resolution (Chiralpak IA). For the synthesis and absolute configuration assignment, see (a) T. Asai, T.

48. The o-MeO substituent in 9h creates an A(1,3) strain situation with the neighboring stereogenic center; the increased rigidity of 9h vs. 9g is possibly the reason for the better selectivity. With the MeO group, 9h is also a potential tridentate ligand; the ether linkage functioning possibly as an "on-off"-ligand allowing for the formation of a σ-allyl Ru-intermediate. We thank a referee for this latter suggestion.
