72. The BARF anion was found to yield particularly active and selective catalysts in the enantioselective hydrogenation of nonfunctionalized C=C double bonds using the similar complexes in organic solvents: Lightfoot, A.; Schnider, P.; Pfaltz, A. Angew. Chem. 1998, 110, 3047; Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1998, 37, 2897.

74. The observations made by visual control and the pronounced influence of the composition of the mixture make other possible explanations for the activity in the second run such as accidental mechanical extrusion extremely unlikely.
