[a] Reaction conditions: 4 (2.3 mmol) (initial ratio of 63:37 R,S/R,R), biphenyl (10 mol %) as an internal standard, stirrer speed 300 rpm. [b] Pressure of CO2 at 40 °C. [c] Determined from quantitative 1H NMR spectroscopy. [d] From 1H NMR using doublet at 4.25 ppm, overlapping doublets were deconvoluted using MNova. [e] Up to 63 % depending on the batch of B. [f] Reaction yields 41 with 50 % selectivity. [g] Up to 75 % depending on the batch of B. [h] Reaction yields 41 with 47 % selectivity. [i] 6.5 % mass loss.
