42. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 3823. We performed a control experiment using a sample of commercially available catalyst 4 d that had been further purified by a careful extraction with HCl. This experiment provided a similar reactivity and stereoselectivity (3 a obtained in 88 % yield, 88 % ee), indicating that metals are not involved in the reported reaction.
