40. 2 complexes appears to arise from ortho-metallation of the carboxylate complex. For a more detailed discussion, see: Rogers, M. M. Ph.D. Thesis, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI, 2007.
41. Attempts to resolve amidinium salts with methyl groups in the 3 and 3′ positions of the biphenyl moiety were unsuccessful. For further details, see: Scarborough, C.C. Ph.D. Thesis, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI, 2008.

Soc. 130 (2008) 6848-6858 In the present case, use of microwave irradiation is critical in obtaining reasonable yields of these 7-membered amidinium salts

54. The dimeric catalyst (S,S)-29 was used in conjunction with a silver additive in place of the monomeric catalyst (S)-30 because (S)-30 was prone to decomposition over prolonged storage periods. Control experiments in the cyclization of 2 revealed that the same results are obtained when (S,S)-29 with 4 equiv of AgTFA were employed in the catalytic mixture as when (S)-30 was employed.
