12. Ligand 1, which provides a completely different higher-order structure (2:3 and/or 4:5 complex), and ligand 4, which provides a 5:6 complex but contains a more electron-rich catechol (thus, containing a less acidic proton in the catalyst), produced strikingly reduced enantioselectivity (less than 42% ee).

28. The use of DMP as a proton source afforded less satisfactory enantiose- lectivity, and ligand 3 demonstrated no significant advantage compared to 2. The reaction rate and enantioselectivity were much lower when using a catalytic amount of TMSCN (10 mol %)and 1 equiv of HCN (11:90h, 61% yield, 50% ee; cf. Table 2, entry 1).
