70. According to the work of Bäckvall, the reaction of allylmagnesium bromide led to poor conversion and low ee (60% after 18 h, 54% ee). A. S. E. Karlstrom, J. E. Bäckvall, Chem. Eur. J. 2001, 7, 1981.
71. 31P NMR, showed that the chiral ligand was damaged.
72. To determine the absolute configuration of the products stemming from the addition of secondary or tertiary alkyl-Grignard reagents to substrate 6, the following procedure was carried out. 3-(S)-Cyclohexyl-1,7- octadiene (78% ee) was prepared according to a reported procedure.
