50. Note that LiCl, which is present in our reactions, may facilitate formation of a mixed aggregate with 1 or 2, as has been shown for 14. See:, K. Sugasawa, M. Shindo, H. Noguchi, K. Koga, Tetrahedron Lett. 1996, 37, 7377-7380. It is less clear if LiCl should be included as an active component in Scheme 2.
