31. The aldehyde rotamer with the α-chloro substituent perpendicular to the incoming nucleophile is judged less likely since it would result in a destabilizing steric interaction between R′ and one substituent on the enol silane (R or OTMS)
32. For an example where a TS structure similar to D has been invoked to rationalize the stereochemical outcome in the addition to an α-silyloxy aldehyde, see: A. B. Smith, III S. M. Condon J. A. McCauley J. L. Leazer, Jr. J. W. Leahy R. E. Maleczka, Jr. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997 119 947 961
33. Theoretical studies suggest that α-amino substituted aldehydes react through PFA TS structures in the boron aldol reaction. See ref. 8
