Syntheses of 1,2-Amino Alcohols and Their Applications for Oxazaborolidine Catalyzed Enantioselective Reduction of Aromatic Ketones
Keyword(s):
Six new chiral 1,2-amino alcohol derivatives have been synthesized starting from (1R,2R)-2-amino-1-phenylpropane-1,3-diol. Asymmetric reduction of aryl ketones with in-situ generated oxazaborolidine from these amino alcohol derivatives and BH3·Me2S afforded secondary alcohols with good yield and moderate to high enantiomeric excess.
