27. Conjugate reduction with L-Selectride favors the formation of a lithium enolate as opposed to a boron enolate. The yield of boron enolate, however, has been shown to be highly dependent on the alkali-metal cation in the order of K > Na > Li; see: Ma, L.; Hopson, R.; Li, D.; Zhang, Y.; Williard, P. G.
