46. In samples which the enantiomers interconvert on the timescale of the HPLC, a raised plateau between the separate enantiomer peaks is present; no such effect was observed for 2. For a discussion of this effect, see:, O. Trapp, Chirality 2006, 18, 489.

48. CCDC 1019025 (13) contains the supplementary crystallographic data for this paper. These data can be obtained free of charge from The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/data-request/cif. We tentatively speculate that the absolute configuration of the major enantiomer of substrates in Table 2 is the same as that for 13. This configuration is consistent with the order of elution of the major enantiomer for 13-22 when using HPLC with a chiral stationary phase. However, absolute configuration of 14-22 cannot be unequivocally demonstrated with the data we possess.
