40. It was confirmed by the DLS measurements of the reaction solutions that no ruthenium clusters (detection limit: 0.6 nm) were detected during the dehydrosilylation.

48. Under the conditions described in Eq. (6) (1.5 equivalents of 4b with respect to 2f), the reaction rate was very slow and the corresponding silyl ether was obtained in 30% yield after 48 h. In this case, the ee values of the product were almost unchanged during the reaction (84-88%ee).
49. 2 and excess amounts of alcohols. Therefore, the optical purity of the R-isomer 5s was decreased by the transetherification (racemization)in the presence of large excess amounts of 4b [Eq. (7)].
