57. The amide carbonyl group in 7 could also be cleaved (see the SI).
58. Heterodimers of chiral phosphoric acids have been proposed by List and co-workers before. See refs 3c and 8b, 8c for examples.

60. We also obtained the X-ray structure of an azetidine substrate, in which the amide dihedral angle is 17.6 (details in the SI), suggesting no significant deviation of our azetidine substrates from ordinary amides in terms of amide conformation.
