This reaction was very fast, so it is necessary to moderate the reaction velocity by adding ether to the system. \*\* Pyridine-borane was used.

Caglioti and coworkers have shown that certain a&unsaturated ketones react with excess diborane, and after hydrolysis of the organoborane intermediate with acetic anhydride, good yields of an alkene are obtained. 192 The reaction undoubtedly follows the course depicted in the Scheme: Scheme
