92. In fact, we discovered that there is a significant background reaction without any catalyst when 2h was tested as the substrate. This could partly account for its poor enantioselectivity displayed under identical reaction conditions.
93. For simple pyrrolidine, the corresponding enamine was formed, see: a) A. Hodgson, J. Marshall, P. Hallett, T. Gallagher, J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 1 1992, 2169-2174;
94. b) R. K. Vohra, J.-L. Renaud, C. Bruneau, Synthesis 2007, 731 -738. However, this synthetic method may be not applied to diaryl prolinols due to the steric effects.
95. Similar models have been reported for tertiary amine catalysts, for examples, see:
