71. The reaction of 20a with 3a in the presence of 4 mol % 2b also occurred with high branched-to-linear selectivity (90:10) and enantioselectivity (92% ee). However, the N9/N7 selectivity is reduced to 83:17.
72. The preference for N9-selectivity was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy (HMBC) for compound 21e. See the Supporting Information for additional details.

82. Product ratios for competition experiments in the absence of potassium phosphate base are as follows: 18:82 (11a/28) for the competition reaction between imidazole and benzyl amine; 40:60 (11a/29) for the competition reaction between imidazole and aniline; 50:50 (11a/5a) for the competition reaction between imidazole and benzimidazole; and 30:70 (11a/21k) for the competition reaction between imidazole and bis-BOC-adenine.
