148. We presume that the catalyst preferentially reacts with the aliphatic aldehyde 109, not the α,β-unsaturated aldehyde 111, until all of the aliphatic aldehyde 109 has been consumed in the first Michael addition with nitroalkene 110. In this case, the concentration of the iminium-ion activated α,β-unsaturated aldehyde 115 would be low at the beginning of the reaction further explaining the chemoselectivity of the first step.
