The reaction gives better yields with electron-rich carbonyl compounds, whereas no product was formed with benzaldehyde and aromatic aldehydes bearing electron-withdrawing groups (o- and p-nitrobenzaldehyde, p-chlorobenzaldehyde), suggesting that protonation of the aldehyde carbonyl group is the critical step. A more detailed account of this reaction is out of the scope of this paper and will be reported elsewhere.
