28. 2O reacts rapidly (<5 min) and is not substrate-dependent.
29. A small excess is necessary due to some HEH decomposition in the reaction conditions: (a) van Bergen, T. J.; Mulder, T.; Kellogg, R. M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1976, 98, 1960-1962.

32. 2O, THF, or toluene led to low conversion due to low solubility of the iminium triflate and HEH.
