40. No reaction occurred in the absence of N,N-diisopropylethylamine. When triethylamine was used in place of N,N-diisopropylethylamine as a base, a similar enantioselectivity was observed.

46. Although a variety of optically active diphosphines and monophosphines, such as Duphos, chiraphos, diop, and mop, were investigated as chiral ligands for the propargylic amination, these did not work effectively. As a result, (R)-Cl-MeO-biphep was found to be the ligand of choice for the present propargylic amination. The detailed experimental results will be reported in due course.
