SmI2 or SmI2-LiCl mixtures can be used to reduce α-functionalised amides in yields of up to 85% depending upon the amide structure. The method has been applied to the synthesis of an atropisomeric anilide system in highly enantioenriched form, starting with (S)-O-acetyl lactic acid.
SmI2或 -LiCl混合物可用于还原α-取代酰胺,产率可高达85%,具体取决于酰胺的结构。该方法已应用于合成高度富含手性的对映异构体芳香胺体系,从(S)-O-乙酰
乳酸开始。
