24. 6a was established by an X-ray crystal structure (see Supporting Information) of 13.
25. 3b chirality was not transferred in the cycloaddition of enantioenriched propargyl ester 15 with imine 2b (see Supporting Information).
26. The observation that the E/Z-selectivities obtained by trapping with sulfoxides are not identical to the diastereoselectivity observed in the cycloaddition suggests that A is formed reversibly and reacts with nucleophile dependent selectively (see Supporting Information).
