34. 1H NMR investigations of the mechanism of the α-chlorination of cyclohexanone by NCS catalyzed by (1R,2R)-diphenylethylenediamine. These investigations showed that the active catalyst was the condensation product between (1R,2R)-diphenylethylenediamine and cyclohexanone (3h) and not (1R,2R)-diphenylethylenediamine.

44. We believe that acid additives promote enamine formation and suppress chlorination of the catalyst.
45. 2-Nitrobenzoic acid (20 mol%) led to less than 1% conversion after 18 h in the absence of 4,5-DPI 3i in a 1:1 mixture of cyclohexanone and NCS at ambient temperature.
46. Less than 1% conversion of 1e and 1f was observed in the absence of 2-nitrobenzoic acid.
47. No racemization was found to occur during filtration through a short silica plug.
48. 4 were required.
