59. In comparison to other Co(III)-CO complexes the series of complexes of type 4 show relatively low CO bands. See for example: Dahl, L. F.; Nagaki, D. A.; Olson, W. L. Organometallics 1986, 5, 630-634.

63. Kinetics are consistent with either rapid preequilibrium between 41 and 12 favoring 41 followed by reductive elimination or rate-determining trapping of 51 followed by rapid reductive elimination.

65. Repeated attempts to isolate 13 were not successful; decomposition to ketone 31 and unassigned organometallic products are observed.

79. This reaction is observed with substrates without acidic α-protons to avoid competitive enolate-type transformations. The Tishenko analogue reaction reported here is curiously exclusive for alkyl aldehydes. Aromatic aldehydes show regular decarbonylation chemistry to 14 and 15 in the presence of excess aldehyde.
80. Turnover numbers on the order of 50-100 are observed for aldehydes such as isobutyraldehyde or cyclohexanecarbaldehyde at 10 °C with turnover frequencies of ∼4 TO/h under these conditions. 4 persists to 90% conversion of aldehyde to ester; then deactivation is observed, and besides decarbonylation product 15 further unassigned organometallic complexes were observed.
