54. The reduction process was not observed using zincates (Almansa, R.; Guijarro, D.; Yus, M. Tetrahedron Lett. 2009, 50, 3198), which provided a similar yield (90%) but lower stereoselectivity (94:6 dr) than those indicated in entry 3 in Table 1 (91%; >98:2 dr)

58. It is remarkable that the acid resulting in the hydrolysis of 5Da has been used for obtaining antidiabetic agents (See:Demong, D.;Miller, M. W.; Dai,X.; Stamford,A. PCT Int Appl. (2012)WO 2012/009226 A1) and substituted hydroxamic acids employed as inhibitors ofHDCAC6(histone deacetylase 6).
59. (See: Blackburn, C.; Gigstad, K. M.; Harrison, S. J.; Xu, H. PCT Int Appl. (2011) WO2011/106632 A1). In these patents, the addition of i -PrLi to an N-tert -butanesulfinylaldimine is the key step in the synthesis of the starting acid. It requires starting from a t -Bu ester (to avoid nucleophilic attack to the carbonyl group) and yields a mixture of diastereoisomers that, once separated, give a 46% yield of the appropriated one. By contrast, in our case, we perform the radical addition starting from the methyl ester (3D) with complete control of the stereoselectivity and quantitative yield (entry 4, Table 3).

61. Similar results, but lower Δ G values, had been obtained for the N- benzenesulfinyl benzaldimine: García Ruano, J. L.; Torrente, E.; Alonso, I.; Rodriguez, M.; Martín-Castro, A. M.; Degl'Innocenti, A.; Frateschi, L.; Capperucci, A. J. Org. Chem. 2012, 77, 1974

63. The absolute configuration of the new chiral center at the major diastereoisomer 5Aa has been established as R by the coincidence in the specific rotation of amine hydrochloride 6Aa, with that previously reported: Almansa, R.; Guijarro, D.; Yus, M. Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 2008, 19 (603) 2484
