20. The diastereomeric influence of the substituted amine nucleophile had a significant effect on the nature of the product: 5 j was a colorless oil whereas 7 j was a white solid. For an example in which this nucleophile has been used in highly diastereoselective reactions, see:, S. G. Davies, G. D. Smyth, J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 1 1996, 2467-2477.

22. This process is remarkable owing to the high level of steric congestion at the alkene and the regioselective isomerization of the double bond away from the amine nitrogen atom. For recent reviews on rhodium-catalyzed isomerization of allylic alcohols, see
