21. (a) The direct conversion of aldehydes to ketones using the chelation-assisted catalytic system of 5 and 2-amino-3-picoline (in situ generation of the aldimine) was unsuccessful, because 2-amino-3-picoline is supposed to react with 5 to give an inactive complex during the reaction, see: J. A. Cabeza, Eur. J. Inorg. Chem., 2002, 1559;
22. (b) In the absence of acetone, the yield of 3a was decreased (47% GC yield) and severe reduction of 1a also took place;
23. Boronic acids were also applicable, but yields were approximately 20% lower compared with those of 2.
