Highly Chemo-, Diastereo-, and Enantioselective Reduction of 1,2-Dialkyl-3-aryl-1,3-diketones for Preparation of Aldol-Type Compounds
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]Highly chemo-, diastereo-, and enantioselective borohydride reduction of 2-substituted-1,3-diketones was achieved in the presence of the optically active beta -ketoiminato cobalt complex catalysts to afford the optically active 2-substituted-3-hydroxyketones. The present catalytic and enantioselective reduction could provide an alternative potential for preparation of optically active ant aldol-type compounds.
