NiCl2·6H2O and NaBH4 in MeOH for rapid access to cis-β,γ-disubstituted γ-butyrolactones is described. The reaction was selective for cis-products, which were obtained in good to excellent yields. This study showcased the influence of steric hindrance and angle strain on the diastereoselectivity outcome of conjugate reductions facilitated by in situ generated nickel-hydride.
                                    描述了使用MeOH中的5mol% NiCl 2 ·6H 2 O和NaBH 4对β-和γ-取代的
丁烯内酯进行1,4-还原,以快速获得顺式-β,γ-二取代的
γ-丁内酯。该反应对顺式产物具有选择性,其收率良好至优异。这项研究展示了空间位阻和角应变对原位生成的氢化
镍促进的共轭还原的非对映选择性结果的影响。
