4.1. General
All asymmetric reactions were performed under an inert atmo-
sphere in dry glassware. DCM was dried and distilled from calcium
hydride prior to use. Diisopropylethylamine was distilled from cal-
cium hydride. Products were purified by flash column chromatog-
raphy on Silica Gel 60 (Merck, 230–400 mesh ASTM). TLC analyses

were performed on 250 lm Silica Gel 60 F254 plates. Enantiomeric
excess (ee) was determined by chiral HPLC. IR spectra are reported
in reciprocal centimeters (cmÀ1). 1H and 13C NMR spectra were
reported on a Brucker spectrospin Avance DPX-400 Ultra shield
instrument at 400 MHz and 100 MHz respectively relative to
TMS. A Rudolph Research Analytical Autopol III Polarimeter was
used to measure optical rotations.
