57. The competition experiment was performed in dichloromethane by adding a solution of the borane complex (2 mmol) to a mixture of the ketones (10 mmol total) at a rate to maintain the temperature at −20(±2) °C. The relative amounts of the ketones remaining and carbinols produced was determined by capillary GC using a DB-23 (J&W Scientific) column. Recently, Corey reported a larger difference in relative rates for p-nitro-(3.4) and p-methoxyacetophenone (1.8); see: Corey, E. J.; Link, J. O.; Bakshi, R. K. Tetrahedron Lett. 1992, 33, 7107–7110.
