12. 1H NMR analysis of the crude reduction product mixtures was possible for the ketone substrates but not for the lactol substrates. In the latter, the free alcohols were released from boron-containing residues only during column chromatography and, for these, ratios are quoted based on yields of isolated products.

Tetrahedron Lett. 44 (2003) 2199-2202 Ref. 8b represents another potential source of stereochemical confusion because the Felkin-Anh explanation presented in Scheme 3 of that paper predicts the opposite outcome (S) to that ('3a,bR') which it is supposed to model

22. 1H NMR data of the reduced products with those of earlier reduction products. In particular it was noted that the CHAr resonance usually appeared as a slightly broadened singlet (i.e., unresolved multiplet) in the syn- isomers and as a clear doublet (J 8.5-9.5 Hz) for the anti-isomers.
23. 2-free case the unidentified 'complex' was still present and could only be removed (although not isolated) when chromatography was performed on basic alumina.
