28. We are very grateful to Professor Tietze and his group for their invaluable advice in relation to this procedure.
29. 13C NMR spectrum for 17 were doubled, including that at 34.6 ppm, which was sensitive to stereochemical change (34.4 ppm in the adduct generated using the (S)-configured auxiliary).
