60. No reaction was observed in the absence of a chiral phosphoric acid.
61. Special care should be taken in collecting the entire product after column chromatography because self-disproportionation of enantiomers can occur. No such effect was observed upon sublimation under high vacuum at room temperature. For such phenomena, see: Soloshonok, V. A. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2006, 45, 766
