32. In select cases, Rh-12 is significantly more selective than Rh-11. For example, the reaction presented in Table 4, entry 4 promoted by Rh-11 furnishes the product with 75% ee.
33. For reactions promoted by Rh-12, in general, use of MeOH leads to slightly higher levels of enantioselectivity versus dioxane. For reactions presented in Table 2, MeOH was found to provide similar results as dioxane.
