34. The use of the bisbenzamide of the 1,1′-binaphthyl diarnine as organocatalyst led to the formation of the chiral amine in only 20% yield and with no stereoselectivity, as clear demonstration of the fundamental role of the picolinamide moiety to guarantee high chemical and stereochemical efficiency of the catalyst.
35. The introduction of a substituent in the 3 or 6 position of the pyridine ring decreased the stereochemical efficiency of the catalyst, while substitution in the 4 position seems not to have any remarkable effect.
