39. To the best of our knowledge, there is only one reported example of a catalytic enantioselective Mannich reaction that involves a hetero-atom- containing imine (benzyloxy acetaldehyde-derived imine); see ref 10b.

41. For a case involving an enantioselective conjugate addition of an enantiomerically enriched enone with a stereogenic center a to the reacting site, where use of an amino acid-based chiral phosphine catalyst results in enhancement of selectivity, see: (a) Cesati, R. R.; de Armas, J.; Hoveyda, A. H. J. Am.Chem. Soc. 2004, 126, 96-101. For an example where an enantioselective alkylation of an enantiomerically enriched allylic phosphate promoted by amino acid-based catalyst proceeds readily and selectively with only one of the substrate enantiomers, see:

45. For accuracy in measuring small amounts of chiral ligand and Ag salt, transformations were performed in the presence of 5 mol % catalyst.
46. Although the gram scale reaction shown in eq 1 was performed with 5 mol % catalyst, previous studies involving related Mannich-type processes indicate that lower catalyst loadings can be readily extended to larger scale transformations; for example, see ref 5.

48. As illustrated by the examples below, enantioselective VM reactions with aldimines derived from α,β-unsaturated aldehydes proceed to >98% conversion and in high diastereo- and enantioselectivity but in low yields. Control experiments point to product instability.
