47 , 11b,31 and 49 32 were prepared as previously described, while tert -butyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate 43 and ethyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate 51 were purchased from commercial sources and used without further purification. The synthesis and analysis of the enantiopurity of the chiral trichloroacetimidate ( S )-3 was performed as previously reported.…”
