Novel fluorous prolinol as a pre-catalyst for catalytic asymmetric borane reduction of various ketones
摘要:
Novel prolinol carrying two perfluorohexylethyl groups at the g.-position was prepared from L-proline as a starting chiral substrate. Catalytic asymmetric reduction of various ketones, including mono-, di-, and trifluoromethylated acetophenones, using fluorous oxazaborolidines derived from fluorous prolinol afforded the corresponding alcohols in good to excellent yields and with high enantioselectivities (up to 93.2% ee). The fluorous prolinol was recovered without any fluorous solvents or silica gel by simply cooling the organic phase and filtration. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
