20. The reaction with aliphatic aldehydes in the present conditions did not afford the expected aldol product; it is known that for those substrates the formation of chlorohydrin may occur (see discussion in Ref. 1).

22. The observed syn stereoselectivity for the reaction in toluene might be explained with the preference for a boat-like transition state instead of a chairlike transition state (see Fig. 1 for a proposed model of stereoselection).
