Yield is for 2 steps.
Yields refer to isolated, purified (SiO2) product.
Determined by 1H NMR analysis of crude reaction mixtures.
Observed diastereomeric ratio (dr) if reaction is allowed to proceed at 25 °C for 1.5 d (54% yield). PMB = p-methoxybenzyl, 4-PPY = 4-pyrrolidinopyridine, Cy = cyclohexyl.
