69. Substrates possessing an N-cyclic moiety such as an isoquinoline, isoindoline, pyrrolidine, or piperidine ring yielded low enantioselectivities (less than 10% ee).
70. Phosphoric acid derivatives 5 and 6 were used after washing with 6 N HCl.
71. The absolute configuration of (S)- 8 was determined by X-ray analysis of the corresponding monobrominated product s30. For more details, see the Supporting Information.
72. In the 1980s, the Reinhoudt group found the thermal version of the highly stereoselective internal redox reaction. In their case, the chiral information of the starting material was completely converted into the cyclized product. For more details, see refs 3e, 4c, and 4g.
73. This kind of asymmetric transformation is recognized as memory of chirality . For leading references, see: Kawabata, T.; Yahiro, K.; Fuji, K. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1991, 113, 9694

76. The significant decrease in the enantioselectivity when (R)- 7 was used implies the existence of matched and mismatched modes in the cyclization step. The reason for this stereomutation is unclear and under investigation.
77. Treatment of (S)- 7 with rac -binaphthyl phosphoric acid 6a afforded (S)- 8 with 85% ee, although the chemical yield was low (15%). We also tried the achiral acid catalyst (biphenyl phosphoric acid). Although high temperature and a longer reaction time were required (in toluene at refluxing temperature for 68 h), the stereochemical information was retained at an acceptable level. The cyclized adduct (S)-8 was obtained with 54% ee in 40% chemical yield. For more details, see the Supporting Information.
78. Seidel (10a) and Feng (10c) proposed that enantiofacial selection of the iminium cation is the key factor leading to the high enantioselectivity.
