29. Although a coordination of the hydroxyethyl group with the reducing agent could be considered to justify the cis diastereoselectivity in the reduction of iminium A to 6, the same substrate-directable effect should be observed in the reduction of alcohol 10, but in this case, and under the same reaction conditions, it resulted in a trans diastereoselectivity (10→12).{A figure is presented}
