27. A simplified version of the Onitsuka catalyst and a few examples of esterification with arylallyl substrates, which gave 88-93% ee, were recently reported: Trost, B. M.; Rao, M.; Dieskau, A. P. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 18697

32. Phosphates are routinely used as substrates for allylic substitutions. However, allylic di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphates have only once been employed to the best of our knowledge: Zhong, C.; Kunii, S.; Kosaka, Y.; Sawamura, M.; Ito, H. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 133, 11441

34. We have determined the selectivity factor of the kinetic resolution of racemic 3c (cf. Table 3) with potassium crotonate (2a) as s = 42 (see SI). The determination was carried out according to a method described in Kagan, H. G; Fiaud, J. C. Topics in Stereochemistry; Wiley: New York, 1988; Vol. 18, p 249.
