35. In 1,5-anti aldol reactions of certain β-alkyxyketones, the β-substituent appears to be more influential as compared to the α-substituent; see ref 8f and literature cited therein.

39. Mukayiama-type aldol reactions were not evaluated within this study because of practicality, as they require separate silyl-enol-ether formation.
40. 7b gave lower π-face selectivity and/ or proceeded with lower yields.
