42. Subjection of acyclic pro-nucleophile tert-butyl-2-methylacetoacetate to our optimal conditions resulted in a 2:3 inseparable mixture of O- and C-alkylated products, respectively.
43. The stereochemistry of indanone adducts 3 b, 3 c, 3e-3h were assigned by analogy to compound 3d (absolute configuration determined by X-ray crystallography). Compounds 3j and 31 were assigned by analogy to the cyclopentanone system (see Ref. [13c]). Succinimide products 3i and 3m were assigned by analogy to compound 5 c in the matched system with (S)-1f and catalyst 4a (relative configuration determined by X-ray crystallography). Glutarimide adducts 3a and 3k were assigned by analogy to the succinimide, and cyclohexanone systems (Ref. [13]).
44. Acyclic ethyl phenylcyanoacetate gave product 5e with (S)-1f and 4a (10 mol%) in an 84% yield and 3:2 d.r. (see the Supporting Information).
45. An electrophile-directed diastereoselective alkylation has recently been described: S. P. Marsden, R. Newton, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 12600.
46. When the reaction was conducted with racemic 1g, a 1:1 mixture of diastereomers was obtained (see the Supporting Information).
