48. The Petasis reaction leads to α-amino acids with high yields. However, reaction times are generally important, and the reaction does not tolerate the presence of some electron-withdrawing groups connected to phenyl moieties. The Ugi reaction requires the use of cleavable isocyanides and a further hydrolysis step.

55. Organozinc reagents are alkaline compounds.
56. It was mentioned in previous works that at least 2 equiv of the organozinc compound are required for the reaction to proceed efficiently.
57. Although an exothermic reaction tends to develop, the temperature of the medium was not controlled. As a consequence, this rise of the medium temperature is sufficient to avoid a preliminary heating of ethyl glyoxylate (which is generally known to require a depolymerization step prior to use).

60. Piperazine derivatives generally furnish coupling products in lower yields. This behavior has already been observed in other studies conducted in our laboratory.
