a

1a (0.25 mmol), 11 (0.375 mmol), and 0.50 mmol Me(MeO)2SiH in 0.5 mL of toluene. In all cases, a single diastereomer of 12a and 13a was obtained (1H NMR spectroscopic analysis). See the Supporting Information for additional details.

b

Determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy on the unpurified reaction mixture using dimethylfumarate as standard.

c

Value determined by chiral HPLC analysis.

d

Er of 13a was 50:50.

e

Using 10 equiv of silane.

f

2 equiv of t-BuOH added.

g

PhCF3 used as solvent.

h

Propiophenone (8b) used in place of 8a.

i

Value for 12b.

j

Ratio of 12b:13b.

k

Er fo 13b was 60:40.k
