58. We found that in most cases double condensation to generate a bisoxazolidine structure does not occur with a wide range of amino alcohols and diketones. In contrast, only one carbonyl group reacts even under harsh conditions to give a monooxazolidine, or other by-products are formed.

63. The absolute configuration of the nitroaldol products was confirmed by NMR analysis with a chiral solvating agent (see the Supporting Information).
64. The nitroaldol reaction with N-propyl and N-benzyl 2-oxo-2- phenylacetamide gave the product in 92-95-% yield and 26-30-% ee.

67. Formation of the tBoc derivative of 25 and HPLC analysis on a chiral stationary phase (Chiralpak AD) showed that the ee value was slightly reduced from 90-% to 86-% after the two reduction steps (see the Supporting Information).
