43. When the reaction was run in THF-dg the complex appeared as diastereomeres with doublets at δ 0.88 and 0.92; both had a coupling constant of J = 6.5 Hz.

45. Seven and six different experiments, respectively, were run for RuHOH and RuDOD individually.
46. Casey's group has also performed a kinetic isotope study on different aldimines and found that very electron-deficient imines behave as aldehydes and electron-rich imines give inverse isotope effects. See ref 15.
47. It has been established that dehydrogenation of amine 4 is much slower than hydrogen transfer from hydride 2 to the quinone when an excess of quinone is used. Furthermore, the former dehydrogenation step is an irreversible step under these conditions.
48. When the α-carbon is deuterated in amine 4, the transfer of N-H and N-D will both be fast in relation to C-D cleavage and cannot be distinguished. On the other hand when the α-carbon is nondeuterated, the α-carbon-hydrogen bond cleavage is >3 times faster compared to the deuterated case and the difference in rate between transfer of the N-H and N-D can be partly seen.

53. To confirm that this signal was not a protonated form of 18 a control experiment was run where the imine was mixed with TFA; no signal at δ -296 ppm was observed.
