38. 3, the yields of ketones were found to be inferior with respect to the yields obtained with silica gel.
39. The presence of molecular sieves in metal-catalyzed processes has a beneficial effect in preserving the catalyst activity. In some cases it has been reported a reaction rate enhancement ascribed to the ability of molecular sieves to accelerate ligands exchange thus generating the active catalytic complex, see: Mikami, K.; Motoyama, Y.; Terada, M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1994, 116, 2812.
