47. This strategy has been employed previously to reduce the enantioselectivity differences between quasi-enantiomeric cinchona alkaloid catalysts involved in Pt-cinchona catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation, see: H.-U. Blaser, S. Burkhardt, H. J. Kirner, T. Mössner, M. Studer, Synthesis 2003, 1679. We have found that if isoCd-1 is pretreated with MeOH and silica gel (see the Supporting Information), the enantioselectivity of crude ent-4b can be increased to 94% ee. At present we do not know the reason for this effect and have therefore decided not to report this ee value in Table 1. However, this method was used to prepare ent-4b on a gram scale. The reaction was performed using 1.5 mol% catalyst: ent-4b: 94% ee (crude), 78% yield, >99% ee.
