a

Reactions were performed under N2 atmosphere; see the Supporting Information for experimental details. nd = not determined.

b

Conversions (based on the amounts of unreacted substrate and product formed) were determined through analysis of 400 MHz 1H NMR spectra of the unpurified mixtures.

c

Yield of 1 after purification.

d

Enantiomer ratios (er) and enantioselectivities (ee) were determined by HPLC analysis; see the Supporting Information for details.
