34. Terada and co-workers reported the pioneering catalytic enantioselective direct Mannich-type reaction by using chiral BINOL-derived phosphoric acids. In their catalytic enantioselective reactions, acetylacetone (7a) was the sole nucleophile. Moreover, N-Boc protection in aldimines is essential for achieving high enantioselectivities.

58. In the original literature in ref 11, the Newman-Kwart rearrangement of 3 to 4 was examined at 285-400°C. Moreover, during the preparation of this manuscript, a 1-400 kg-scale synthesis of aryl S-thiocarbamates from aryl O-thiocarbamates in microwave reactors was reported by Moseley and co-workers. The industrial synthesis of 1 should be a great advantage. (a) Moseley, J. D.; Lenden, P.; Lockwood, M.; Ruda, K.; Sherlock, J.-P.; Thomson, A. D.; Gilday, J. P. Org. Process Res. Dev. 2008, 12, 30.
