Routes other than aza-MBH reactions have been developed to access aza-MBH-type products with β-substituted α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moieties, but there has been no report of enantioselective versions of these reactions: a) J.

25. a) Whereas aza-MBH-type product 3 was generated by the formation of a C-C bond at the α-position of aldehyde 1, for the reaction between two molecules of 1 in the presence of proline, the γ-position of 1 reacted as a nucleophilic carbon atom and [3+3] adducts were formed. This observation supports the proposed formation of an enamine from 1 with proline: B.-C. Hong, M.-F. Wu, H.-C. Tseng, J.-H. Liao, Org. Lett. 2006, 8, 2217;
26. b) formation of enamine intermediates of β-substituted α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with a pyrrolidine derivative was also suggested in a γ-amination reaction: S. Bertelsen, M. Marigo, S. Brandes, P. Diner, K. A. Jorgensen, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 12 973.

29. 1H NMR signals of 7 was observed with imidazole.
30. Imidazole has been used or suggested as a nucleophile in MBH reactions in the presence of proline: a) M. Shi, J.-K. Jiang, C.-Q. Li, Tetrahedron Lett. 2002, 43, 127;
