82. Complex 1, however, seems to be unable to transfer electrons to dialkyl ketones as evident from the clean addition to 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone. This result is again in excellent agreement with the report by Ashby et al. who showed that the iron content in the magnesium has no effect in Grignard additions to aliphatic carbonyl compounds. Moreover, they are in line with the finding that certain iron salts beneficially effect the stereoselective course of addition of cyclic ketones as reported by Reetz et al., see: M. T. Reetz, S. Stanchev, J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. 1993, 328-330.
