Reduction of 2-Alkyl-2-carbomethoxycyclopentanone Derivatives with Sodium Borohydride. Part 2. The Elucidation of the Diastereoselective Control.-Four new β-ketoesters (III) are designed and submitted to NaBH4-reduction in polar protic media. The diastereoselective control in this process depends on blockage of the re-face of (III) by a proposed carbonyl-π-stacking type interaction. -(TEIXEIRA, L. H. P.; BARREIRO, E. J.; FRAGA, C. A.

-047Studies on the Diastereoselective Reduction of 2-Acetyl-2-alkyl-γbutyrolactones with Boron Hydrides.-The diastereoselectivity of borohydride reduction of the title butyrolactones under varying reaction conditions (i.e. presence or absence of chelating agents) is studied in detail.The results indicate that the diastereoselectivity is more dependent on steric interactions than on chelation factors. -(TEIXEIRA, LIS H.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
