31. The β-hydroxyketone 3a is formed during the reaction, not during the subsequent workup. For example, upon a long-term storage of 2a, there was no change in the spectral integrity or in its TLC profile.
32. Typical side products formed at an early stage of the reaction and showed multiple non-polar spots in TLC, which could not be unambiguously identified. A similar observation was made by Gagosz: Gagosz, F. Org. Lett. 2005, 7, 4129.
