35. Many cinchona derived phase transfer catalysts were tried but did not outperform the Maruokas catalyst. For instance, the best N- anthracenyl cinchonidinium chloride one afforded (NaOH, rt) the cyclopentene 7a in 38% ee and 55% yield. However, this family of catalysts tend to decomposition in our conditions, rendering tedious their development for this methodology.
