26. 2O gave a dr of 91:9 and 66% yield after 3 days. They attributed the low yield to trapping of 8 as its HCl salt but noted that added base had a limited effect on yield and dr. They also noted that there was little effect of solvent on diastereocontrol:. Drabowicz J., Bujnicki B., Biscarini P., Mikolajczyk M. Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 10 (1999) 3177-3187
