29. The reaction of a cyclohexanone imine with 1-octene showed the same range of the low diastereoselecitivity (data not reported). We are thus assuming that the poor diastereoselectivity in the reaction of the 3-pentanone imine is due to low selectivity of mutual face selection, but not to the E/Z isomerism of the zinc enamide intermediate.
