29. TLC tracing of the reaction indicated that the thio-Michael addition using catalyst 1 proceeded cleanly to give the desired Michael adduct 3 and no major by-products were produced.
30. DMSO will act as a weak Lewis base to dissolve an amino acid in the reaction media and to activate a mercaptan moderately. The use of a sulfoxide as a Lewis base was well studied by Kobayashi et al.: S. Kobayashi, C. Ogawa, H. Konishi, and M. Sugiura J. Am. Chem. Soc. 125 2003 6610
