23. 19F NMR spectrum of the unpurified mixtures, 3aa (X = OTFA) was observed as the major product. The relative configuration was deduced from the hydrolyzed product (X = OH).
24. For the convenience of discussion, the nomenclature of cyclized products 3 and 4 is based on the core structures such as the quinoline ring and 1-benzazepine ring, respectively.
25. A free N -acyliminium ion intermediate should result in identical rate and product distribution; however, experimental results in Table 1 may imply a tight ion pair with the counterion or a complex with the Lewis acid used. This scenario was widely recognized in the Friedel-Crafts reaction; see

30. The neighboring effect of the methyl group is not clear. One proposed explanation is that the o -methyl group may participate in the stabilization of phenonium ion through a C-H hyperconjugation.
31. However, the origin of exceedingly high stereoselectivity needs to be further investigated with the assistance of computational calculation.
