65. l -Thr- d -Val-derived phosphine-thiourea catalyst (3d) was also prepared and examined in the cyclization, and the reaction was completed only after 24 h. The cycloaddition products were obtained in 85% yield, with an α to ? ratio of 90:10, and -28% ee for the α-isomer. See Supporting Information for details.
66. For a complete survey of influences of different solvents on the reaction, see the Supporting Information.
67. The acrylate with a benzyl substitution has a rather flexible conformation compared to that of other α-aryl-substituted acrylates, which may introduce unfavorable steric interactions with the phosphonium enolate, resulting in a less-defined transition state and decreased enantioselectivity.
