The effect of solvent on the rate and stereoselectivity of cyclic ketone reduction by Al-isopropoxydiisobutylalane (DIBA(i)OPr) has been investigated. In dichloromethane, DIBA(i)OPr behaves as a bulky reducing agent, approaching the carbonyl group along an equatorial trajectory to produce the axial alcohol with >10:1 stereoselectivity. In sharp contrast, reduction in toluene gives the complementary outcome, affording the thermodynamically more stable isomer with >99:1 stereoselectivity.
研究了溶剂对异丙氧基二异丁基铝(DIBA(i)OPr)还原环酮的速率和立体选择性的影响。在二氯甲烷中,DIBA(i)OPr表现为一种体积较大的还原剂,沿赤道轨迹接近羰基,以>10:1的立体选择性生成轴向醇。与之形成鲜明对比的是,在甲苯中进行还原则得到相反的结果,以>99:1的立体选择性提供热力学上更稳定的异构体。
