44. 6 are similar to those of 35 (see Exp. Sect.), and are consistent with the highly stereoselective formation of a major diastereomer. Attempted preparations of the active species derived from ephedrine, i.e. 36b and 37b, have so far yielded only mixtures of products.

55. As remarked pertinently by a referee, the deactivation process of catalytic species by functionalized ketones discussed in this section do not account for the gradual deactivation of the catalytic systems based on (2-hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine (14), which takes place even with acetophenone. In this case, it is possible that deactivation is due to a low, inherent stability of in situ formed Ru species.
