39. However, Brown's subsequent work revealed the importance of water in this reaction, suggesting that addition occurs after hydrolytic cleavage of the silyl protecting group. Therefore, enantioselective addition occurs to the free aldimine/borane complex, not to the putitive N -TMS imine: Chen, G. M.; Ramachandran, P. V.; Brown, H. C. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 1999, 38, 825

To the best of our knowledge, only one enantioselective synthesis of α-amino acids has shown some degree of tolerance to Fmoc protection directly (two substrates, hydrogenation to phenylalanine derivatives): Fernández-Pérez, H.; Donald, S.
