34. Reduction of ketones via titanium-catalyzed hydromagnesation has previously been reported: Sato, F.; Jimbo, T.; Sato, M. Tetrahedron Lett. 1980, 21, 2171-2174. Interestingly, competitive alkyl (rather than hydride) addition to the ketone substrates is largely (although not completely) supressed. By comparison, competitive alkyl addition does not occur for imine substrates.
