References and Notes
We also examined several chiral Lewis acids, such as Box-Mg(II), Box-Cu(II), and BINAP-Pd(II), giving the product 2a in low yield.
13We also examined the reaction in cumene, benzene, CH2Cl2, Et2O, EtOH, and MeCN, using 3b giving the product 2a with lower enantioselectivity than that in toluene.
14Unfortunately, aliphatic N-(2-pyridylsulfonyl)imines could not be obtained from aliphatic aldehydes under various reaction conditions.
