- 19aThe use of a substrate having a smaller ester group such as a methyl ester gives the product with lower enantioselectivity (e.g., 78 % yield, 76 % ee for the reaction of the methyl ester variant of 8 a with phenylboronate 2);
- 19bthe use of organoboronic acid pinacol esters instead of neopentylglycol esters results in lower enantioselectivity by ca. 10 %;
- 19cessentially the same result is obtained by conducting the reaction in the presence of tBuOH (1.0 equiv) or by using NaOtBu as the base;
- 19dsignificantly lower reactivity is observed by using KOMe as the base (e.g., 45 % yield, 92 % ee for the reaction of 8 a with phenylboronate 2), presumably because of the poor solubility of KOMe in dioxane.
