62. (a) To our knowledge, there are only two examples of organo catalyzed asymmetric aldol reactions involved in the formation of stereogenic quaternary carbon centers by Barbas and co-workers and us: Mase, N.; Tanaka, F.; Barbas, C. F., III. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2004, 43, 2420 and ref 11. It is noted that a much shorter reaction time (2 h) for the same reaction is observed in the study reported by Barbas.
