The small steric hindrance gives rise to a high reactivity both as an electrophile and as a pro-nucleophile, hampering chemoselectivity (further to side reactions such as
- self-aldol condensations, polymerization and Tishchenko-type processes) and stereoselectivity [20]; the activation of acetaldehyde via aminocatalysis, furthermore, suffers from a lack of proper steric hindrance for the enantio-discrimination process.

In the case of α-methylstyrene, complete conversion of diazo reagent 5 to compound 6b was observed only after 48 hours of heating, which might result from the steric hindrance around the reaction centre. In almost all
