Soc. 127 2005 3774 3789 The equilibrium between the 1,2-anti and 1,2-syn iminium ion intermediates at low temperature is unlikely, because the longer reaction time did not improve the chemical yield
69. The product yields were not correlated with the nucleophilicity of the enamines. For the nucleophilicity of enamines, see: B. Kempf, N. Hampel, A.R. Ofial, and H. Mayr Chem. - Eur. J. 9 2003 2209 2218

78. The first C-C bond formation would be almost anti selective as depicted in Fig. 3 (see also Ref. 19) at low temperature. However, the enantioselectivity of this step would be low. If the enantio-determining step had been mainly this step, the enantiomeric excess of product 3a obtained under the conditions of entry 3 (Table 4) would have been at least 24% according to the results shown in entries 1 and 2. This assumption is evidently inconsistent with the actual result (9% ee). Therefore, the kinetic resolution of the anti iminium ion via the second intramolecular reduction would be mainly enantio-determining.
