aThe reaction was carried out at −50 °C in dichloromethane containing 4 (47 mM), TsOH (86 mM), and 1 (43 mM) for 4 h. bThe yield was determined by 1H NMR using an internal standard. cThe ee was determined by chiral HPLC using a Daicel CHIRALPAK AD column (ø 4.6 mm × 250 mm). dPreferential configuration of product 3. The absolute stereochemistry of 3b and 3c was not determined. eThe reaction was carried out for 20 h.
