69. Low conversion (30%) and almost 0% ee were obtained when 3-phenyl-2 H -1,4-benzoxazine replaced 4b as the starting material in eq 10 in Scheme 4. When compounds 4a and 4b (1:1) were reacted in the same reaction vessel in benzene, the ee of 3a was 93% and compound 5 was obtained in 94% ee as a result of the hydride transfer from 4a to 4b in the presence of chiral phosphoric acid (S)- 1b. A mixture of 5 and 3a (1.00:0.64) suggested that the formation of 3a was not faster than that of 5.
