60. A rhodium complex bearing N -tosyl-(1 S,2 R)-1-amino-2-indanol as a ligand has been used as a catalyst for the transfer hydrogenation of an endocyclic imine. See ref 18b.

65. The use of tert -butanesulfinamide as a precursor of the sulfinylimines might appear as an economical drawback for possible industrial scale applications of our methodology. However, the cost of the process could be diminished taking into account that an efficient procedure for the recycling of the sulfinyl chiral auxiliary has been recently reported: Wakayama, M.; Ellman, J. A. J. Org. Chem. 2009, 74, 2646-2650

67. We thank the reviewers for suggesting that we comment on the possibility of using an achiral ligand.
