Abstract

Alcohols P 0110 L-Selectride-Mediated Highly Diastereoselective Asymmetric Reductive Aldol Reaction: Access to an Important Subunit for Bioactive Molecules. -The reaction of the enolates of chiral and achiral enones, generated in situ via L-Selectride reduction, with chiral α-alkoxyaldehydes affords α,α-dimethyl-β-hydroxyketones as synthons of natural products. -(GHOSH*, A.
