aReaction conditions: Ir–L 1 mol%, [Ir]/L (bisphosphine) = 1 : 1 or [Ir]/L (monophosphine) = 1 : 2; 1a 0.2 mmol, 2a 0.2 mmol, solvent 2 mL, 60 °C, 20 h; MS = molecular sieves, 0.1 gram; TFA = trifluoroacetic acid; I2 10 mol%; yields and enantiomeric excesses were determined by chiral HPLC.
bThe solvent was EtOAc : CH2Cl2 = 1 : 1 with the addition of 10 mol% Et3N.
