60. Recently, both isomers of optically active 6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-biphenyldiamine (6) have become commercially available from Aldrich. The absolute configuration of 9 synthesized from (±)-6 was determined by comparison to the spectral data of 9 synthesized from purchased optically pure 6.
61. For these optimized conditions with (S)-10a (10 mol %): 7% yield; -76% ee. (S)-10a was still mismatched ligand.
62. Without this operation, we did not obtain reproducible results. A precise mechanistic investigation is now underway.
63. For the reaction of 2a and 3a, (R)-10c has similar reactivity and selectivity to (R)-10a. But, for 2a and 3h, (R)-10c gave only 12% yield and 84% ee (0.6 M, 0 °C, 3 h).
