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.

The inventive subject matter relates to novel processes for making an epoxy alcohol from an aldehyde, comprising the steps of: (a) adding (i) an organozinc compound or (ii) divinylzinc compound and an diorganozinc compound to said aldehyde in the presence of a first catalyst to form an allylic alkoxide compound; and (b) epoxidizing said allylic alkoxide compound in the presence of an oxidant and a second catalyst.
