Diastereoselection in the LiA1H4 reduction of severely hindered β-diketones examples of -curtin-hammett preequilibrium conditions
摘要:
LiAlH4 Reduction of alpha-adamantyl (and tert-butyl)-beta-diketones occur under anti-Curtin-Hammett preequilibrium conditions, each preferred conformer leading to a different stereoisomeric diol, whereas reduction of 3-adamantyl-3-methyl (and ethyl)pentane-2,4-dione occurs with high diastereoselectivity to afford only the (2R, 3r, 4S) meso diol.
