22. Noyori has reported a kinetic study of the use of catalyst 3 in the isopropanol/KOH system (ref 2e) and has found that, at high (>0.4 M) concn of ketone (acetone), the turnover limiting step was the regeneration of hydride. However, these studies were carried out under conditions different than ours.
