Oxazaborolidine-Catalyzed Enantioselective Reduction of α-Methylene Ketones to Allylic Alcohols
摘要:
Oxazaborolidine-catalyzed enantioselective reduction of a-methylene ketones was efficiently carried out by using borane-diethylaniline as a stoichiometric reducing agent. The combination of this method and subsequent hydrogenation of thus-formed allylic alcohol improved stereoselectivity in the reduction of 24-oxocholesteryl ester to 24-(R)-hydroxycholesteryl ester.
