65. 3 or DIBAL to the anion to afford an amidometallohydride prior to the H transfer is conceivable. The observed correlation with E/Z ratio of starting (E)-4a suggests an increased barrier for E/Z interconversion for the anion, which slows down the rate of equilibration on the reduction time scale.
