51. The alcohols and other solvents need to be anhydrous.
52. This reaction was tested only in racemic series with L1 as ligand because of the existence of a fast tautomerization between keto and enol forms and hence a rapid racemization.

57. A Lewis acid catalyzed mechanism might also be operative. See: Doyle, M. P.; Buhro, W. E.; Davidson, J. G.; Elliott, R. C.; Hoekstra, J. W.; Oppenhuizen, M. J. Org. Chem. 1980, 45, 3657

65. The lower yields seem related to purification issues as absolutely clean reaction mixtures containing only the oxazoles are obtained at full conversion in each case.
66. For related lactone formations, see: Doyle, M. P.; Westrum, L. J.; Wolthuis, W. N. E.; See, M. M.; Boone, W. P.; Bagheri, V.; Pearson, M. M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1993, 115, 958

68. The loss of enantiomeric purity might be due to a postreaction racemization involving a cleavage of the O(1)-C(2) bond of the dioxole to form an achiral enolate/oxycarbenium intermediate; the cationic part is stabilized by donating groups on the aryl moiety of the benzaldehyde and hence the result of entry 3, Table 5.
69. 3-substituted benzaldehyde.
