58. For this reaction, the control of the temperature is essential. Using an energetic 1600 W xenon lamp (used in the lab for tertiary amine oxidation (see ref. 9)), a notable enhancement of the temperature (ΔT 30 °C) after 30 min of reaction, preferentially led to a dehalogenation pathway.

61. “diffuse sunlight” means the ambient light typically obtained through a translucent glass window. The reaction was performed three times under various sunlight expositions, and same results (yield and ee) were observed.
