The olefins 2, 7, 11 , and 19 , have been reduced using catalytic amounts of cob(I)alamin( I(I) ). During a slow saturation, the catalyst is able to differentiate the two diastereotopic faces of the endocyclic double bonds in 11 ( t 1/2 4 h,. cf. Scheme 3 ) are reduced much faster. A rationalization of the data can be obtained formulating tertiary alkylcobalamins as intermediates. Of the oxime 6 ( cf. Scheme 2 ) and the p ‐ bromobenzoate 23 ( cf. Scheme 5 ) the structures have been determined by X‐ray analysis.
