Table 2.
Yield reported as the average of at least two experiments. Diastereomeric ratio (d.r.) was determined by 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis of the unpurified reaction mixture. Enantiomeric ratio (e.r.) was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis (with a chiral column) of the purified products.
Yield determined by 1H NMR analysis with an internal standard.
5 mol% copper catalyst (4) was added in two portions (see the Supporting Information for details).
KOSiMe3 was used instead of NaOtBu.
