43. High diastereselectivity observed is not a result of a thermodynamic equilibration in the presence of a strong base such as TMG, as β-nitroamine 2a with a 55:45 diastereomeric ratio (obtained from a reaction catalyzed by DABCO) was recovered with the same anti/syn ratio after several hours in the presence of 5 mol % TMG.

45. Other imines derived from enolizable aliphatic aldehydes were not tested in the reaction due to the lack of methods for the preparation of these compounds.
