37. III derivative necessarily requires the further consumption of the sacrificial alcohol 4. See also: S.-I. Murahashi, T. Naota, N. Hirai, J. Org. Chem. 1993, 58, 7318.
38. That a ruthenium alkoxide 7 is an intermediate in this process is clearly revealed by the complete lack of reactivity of the trimethylsilyl ether derived from 6.
39. The [1.4] addition of ruthenium hydrides to enones is well-documented; see for example: Y. Ishii, K. Osakada, T. Ikariya, M. Saburi, S. Yoshikawa, J. Org. Chem. 1986, 51, 2034. For a similar mechanism involving the [1,4]-hydride addition to conjugated iminium intermediates, see, for example: S.-I. Inoue, H. Takaya, K. Tani, S. Otsuka, T. Sato, R. Noyori, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1990, 112, 4897.

41. Beside being a by-product of the oxidation of 4, 2-undecanone also appears to act as a ligand for the low-valent ruthenium catalyst.
