Oxazaborolidine-catalyzed enantioselective reduction of alpha-methylene ketones was efficiently carried out by using borane-diethylaniline as a stoichiometric reducing agent. The combination of this method and subsequent hydrogenation of thus-formed allylic alcohol improved stereoselectivity in the reduction of 24-oxocholesteryl ester to 24-(R)-hydroxycholesteryl ester.
通过使用硼烷-二乙胺作为化学计量的还原剂,有效地实现了恶唑硼烷催化的α-亚甲基酮的对映选择性还原。该方法与随后对由此形成的烯丙醇进行氢化相结合,提高了将24-氧代胆固醇酯还原为24-(R)-羟基胆固醇酯的立体选择性。
