• , entries 1–5), although the ee in products 2b–f remained rather high (>90%). Notably, this aliphatic chain-length effect has been studied in other systems with similar results [53]. The introduction of an aromatic ring (either unsubstituted or para-substituted) in the substrate resulted in diminished
