“…However, when the substrate has more than one centre to be hydrogenated the reaction becomes more difficult, as occurs during the hydrogenation of diones (such as 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione), both in terms of enantioand regioselectivity (RS). [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] In this case, the product of interest is (R)-1-phenyl-1-hydroxy-2-propanone, which has interesting applications in the synthesis of precursors for hypertension and asthma treatments, among others. Vol.…”

“…Kinetic resolution of the primary product has also been observed in the hydrogenation of other a-diketones, a-alkoxy ketones and some activated ketones [7,[15][16][17][18]. A common feature with all of these substrates, including the structurally rigid 2-hydroxycyclohexanone [15], 2-methoxycyclohexanone [17], and 2-fluorocyclohexanone [18a], is that the (S)-enantiomer is reacting faster thus increasing the enantiomeric excess of the remaining (R)-enantiomer.…”

“…A common feature with all of these substrates, including the structurally rigid 2-hydroxycyclohexanone [15], 2-methoxycyclohexanone [17], and 2-fluorocyclohexanone [18a], is that the (S)-enantiomer is reacting faster thus increasing the enantiomeric excess of the remaining (R)-enantiomer. In cases where kinetic resolution of the primary hydrogenation products was observed, as in 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione (PPD) [7], 2,3-butanedione [16,19], and cyclohexane-1,2-dione [15] hydrogenation, the minor enantiomer was converted to diols faster and the ee of the remaining hydroxyketone thus increases. Thus, in the hydrogenation of PPD in toluene the ee of (R)-1-hydroxy-1-phenyl-2-propanone is increasing from 49% at 10% of PPD conversion to 84 at full conversion (table 1).…”

“…[14] Under optimal conditions, the main product, (-)-(R)-1-hydroxy-1-phenylpropan-2-one (B), has been obtained in 65 % ee using cinchonidine as the chiral catalyst modifier. The chiral hydroxy ketone B (also known as PAC = phenylacetylcarbinol) is an important intermediate for the synthesis of ephedrines and pseudoephedrines, which are major ingredients in several pharmaceuticals used as anti-asthmatics, vasoconstricting agents and nasal decongestants.…”
