23. In our study on the asymmetric β-boration of acyclic enones, we found that a rigid and strong coordination between ligand and catalyst would be needed for high enantioselectivity. Therefore, we excluded P,N- and N,N-type ligands and monophosphine ligands for future application of this current study on the asymmetric synthesis of β-borylamides: H.-S. Sim, X. Feng, J. Yun, Chem.

33. [11c]. This value can be compared with the angle of dppp (103.6°) and that of dppf (111.3 °).
34. The reaction did not proceed further even after a longer reaction time. Incomplete consumption of the starting material makes it difficult to cleanly separate the borylated product from the starting material. A ~72% yield was obtained by NMR analysis of a coelut-ed mixture of 2k and 3k.
35. Only reactions with tertiary alkyl amides were reported. The boration reactions of β-phenyl-substituted amides were not reported either.
