A process for the stereoselective reduction via a Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) reaction, of a carbonyl compound to the corresponding alcohol. A preferred starting carbonyl compound is a ketone compound wherein the carbonyl carbon is prochiral. The starting carbonyl compound is contacted with an MPV mediator such as aluminum isopropoxide. The reaction is conducted under mild conditions, e.g. temperatures of about 50°C or less, for less than four hours, and is capable of producing an excess (about 90% to about 97% or more) of a desired optically active chiral alcohol. The mild reaction conditions preserve the optical orientation of other asymmetric centers in the carbonyl compound starting material.
一种通过 Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) 反应将羰基化合物立体选择性还原为相应醇的工艺。优选的起始羰基化合物是酮化合物,其中的羰基碳是手性的。起始羰基化合物与 MPV 介质(如异丙醇铝)接触。反应在温和的条件下进行,例如温度约为 50°C 或更低,时间少于四小时,并能生成过量(约 90% 至约 97% 或更多)所需的光学活性手性醇。温和的反应条件可保持羰基化合物起始原料中其他不对称中心的光学取向。
