45. Other imines, such as Ts-imine (Ts=p-toluenesulfonyl), 2-pyridinesulfonyl imine, diphenylphosphinoyl imine, and Boc-imine resulted in much less satisfactory yield and/or enantioselectivity when using Bu2Mg/Schiff base catalysts.

54. Other chiral ligands, such as BINOL derivatives (BINOL=1,1-bi-2- naphtho1) and chiral bis-sulfonamides, resulted in poor reactivity and/or stereoselectivity.
55. The difference in reactivity between Mg-alkoxide and dialkyl magnesium can be ascribed to the difference in solubility under the reaction conditions.

57. Because the structure of the catalyst, prepared from Bu2Mg/Schiff base 2 (Figure 2) in a ratio of 1:1, has not been clarified, it is difficult to propose the transition state model to explain the stereochemistry of products. The Bu2Mg/Schiff base 2 1:1 mixture is speculated to have an oligomeric structure, see ref. [14b].
