64. Ligands derived from other chiral amino acids such as L-proline and (S)-ramipril acid gave very poor results (less than 20% ee).
65. The role of 4 Å molecular sieves in the reaction has not yet been established. Using other additives, including 3 Å and 5 Å molecular sieves, was less efficient.
66. Imines with other N-protecting groups, such as N-phenyl and N-diphenylphosphinoyl ketoimines, were also tested, but no reaction occurred.
