49. The dichloromethane solution of trichlorosilyl triflate was storable in a refrigerator in a screw-top bottle. No loss of activity has been observed for a month.
50. The yield of the aldol adduct at -78 °C was quite low and the diastereoselectivity was comparable to that at -40 °C.
51. The reaction of 1b and 2a in the absence of BINAPO was completed within 5 min and the corresponding syn-isomer was produced predominantly (83% yield, syn:anti = 85:15).
52. 1-Boc-4-piperidone was less reactive, yielding the product in low chemical yield and stereoselectivity (24% yield, syn:anti = 28:72, 33% ee (anti)).
