25. (a) The absolute configuration of chlorohydrins 10 is unknown; the formulae shown here merely represent an arbitrarily chosen enantiomer.
26. 19F NMR analysis of the corresponding Mosher's esters, as most of the chlorohydrins 10 (except 10c) proved difficult to separate by chiral chromatography.
27. 1H NMR spectra of the crude products, which excludes a possible ee amplification during this derivatization.
28. The enantiopurity of Mosher's acid was independently verified to be >99% ee (see the Supporting Information).
29. Chiral GC analysis of the trifluoroacetate derived from 10c revealed 87% ee, which is in good agreement with the the value obtained by the Mosher method (90% ee).

38. 13c However, he formulated the product as a vicinal chlorohydrin, which is apparently incorrect, as revealed by his NMR spectra that are compatible with those for 11 (as reported here and by Waegell: Chauvet, F.: Heumann, A.; Waegell, B. J. Org. Chem. 1987, 52, 1916.) but differ from those recorded for the vicinal chlorohydrin (also described by Waegell)
