22. Steric hindrance is not the only factor that would influence the reaction. The acidity of 2-nitropropane is much higher than for methyl phenylacetate

25. Cram and Sogah (see Ref. 10) reported 67% ee at 25°C and 99% ee at -78°C for the Michael addition reaction in Scheme 1. The PCU macrocycles gave 90-92% ee at 25°C for the Michael addition reaction in Scheme 2 and, should in analogy to Cram's result, give a higher % ee at lower temperatures
26. The fact that NaOMe, in the presence of the PCU macrocycles, is unable to initiate the reaction between methyl phenylacetate 1 and methyl acrylate 2, but able to initiate the reaction between 2-nitropropane 4 and chalcone 5 is possible due to both steric and electronic factors. Phenyl acetate is sterically more hindered than 2-nitropropane. Its α-hydrogen is also less acidic than for 2-nitropropane
27. In the absence of experimental details the correction for zero point energy was not incorporated. Solvent effects were also omitted in order to simplify the model
