Unique Synthetic Utility of BF3*OEt2 in the Highly Diastereoselective Reduction of Hydroxy Carbonyl and Dicarbonyl Substrates

. A new aspect of commonly used BF3*OEt2 has been illuminated by successfully demonstrating the unique but highly stereoselective reactions of hydroxy carbonyl and dicarbonyl substrates. For example, treatment of γ-hydroxy ketone 1c with BF2*OEt2/Bu3SnH in CH2Cl2 at -78 to -40 deg C afforded the corresponding 1,4-diol 2c with virtually complete diastereoselection, while use of TiCl4 as a Lewis acid under similar reaction conditions caused a total lack of diol yield and selectivity (17%; 2c/3c = 1.2:1), accompanied by a significant formation of 2,3-disubstituted tetrahydrofuran 4 (44%).
