68. The condensation of a range of aniline derivatives with a range of aldehydes is known to give the corresponding (ZT)-configured imines with good to excellent levels of diastereoselectivity; see: Tennant, G.

70. The parent amine (K)-N-benzyl-N-(a-methylbenzyl)amine was assessed to be >98% ee by 1H NMR chiral shift experiments using (S)- O-acetylmandelic acid and comparison with an authentic racemic sample.
71. Given the known enantiomeric purity (i.e., >98% ee) of the lithium amide (R)-4 used to initiate the tandem conjugate addition/cyclization process, the enantiomeric purity of 15, 16, and 22-27 was assigned from the diastereoisomeric purity (determined by peak integration of the 1H NMR spectrum of the crude reaction mixture and the pure product).
72. (R)-N-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-N-benzyl-N-(a- methylbenzyl)amine, formed by reaction of the excess lithium amide (R)-4 with (Boc)2O, was also isolated.

78. The remarkable resistance of /?-aryl-/?-amino ester derivatives to undergo cleavage of the N-C(3) bond has been attributed to the presence of an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the /?-amino substituents and the carbonyl oxygen atom that holds the C(3)-aryl group in a conformation that disfavors hydrogenolysis of the benzylic N-C(3) bond; see ref 8a.
