Novel methods for the reduction of α,β-epoxy ketones, α,β-epoxy esters (glycidic esters), and their congeners to β-hydroxy carbonyl compounds (aldols) by the use of organoselenium reagents are described. The reagents, a sodium phenylseleno(triethyl)borate complex Na[PhSeB(OEt)3] easily prepared by reduction of (PhSe)2 with NaBH4 in EtOH and benzeneselenol (PhSeH) generated in situ from the borate complex
描述了通过使用有机硒试剂将α,β-环氧酮,α,β-环氧酯(缩水甘油酯)及其同类物还原为β-羟基羰基化合物(醛醇)的新方法。通过在EtOH中用NaBH 4还原(PhSe)2和原位生成的苯硒酚(PhSeH),可以轻松制备苯基硒基(三乙基)硼酸钠复合物Na [PhSeB(OEt)3 ]通过添加乙酸从硼酸盐配合物中得到的氯已被证明可作为这些转化的极好的还原剂。有机硒介导的α,β-环氧羰基化合物在α-碳上区域特异性还原,从而以优异的收率生产出多种环状(分子内)醇醛和非环状(分子间)醇醛。定量机理研究表明,与常见的电子转移还原剂相比,有机硒介导的还原通过α取代过程进行。
