36. The present binary catalytic system accelerated the reaction markedly in ethanol without exception of the typical MBH reaction. However considerable amounts of by-products were formed in this solvent. Other common organic solvents such as toluene and dichloromethane were applicable to the present system. The yields of the desired product 3aa were comparable to that observed in THF under the same reaction conditions using TMG/4d (Table1, entry4).
