48. Reaction with atmospheric oxygen often prevents clean thin layer chromatography analysis. Moreover, boron derivatives were found highly detrimental to our GC columns and samples had to be filtered over aluminium oxide prior to chromatography. Thus, only the disappearance of the starting alkene and the formation of the reduced product can be monitored.
