31. The same selectivity is observed with a catalyst prepared with 1.0 equiv of borane-THF complex, but catalyst formation requires longer periods of time.
32. 13 by reaction of benzhydrylamine with 1.0 equiv of aldehyde in methylene chloride at rt in the presence of anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After filtration, the solvent is removed and the imine purifed by crystallization from ethanol with the exception of 8h which is an oil and was used without purification.
