STEREOCHIMIE-LII. CONTROLE ORBITALAIRE DE LA STEREOCHIMIE DES REACTIONS-III EFFETS DES GROUPES β-FLUORO ET β-CYANO SUR LA STEREOCHIMIE ET LA CINETIQUE DE LA REDUCTION DE CYCLOHEXANONES PAR LE TRITERTIOBUTOXYALUMINOHYDRURE DE LITHIUM

The respective influences of β-fluoro and β-cyano groups on the reduction of ketones by Li(t-BuO)3AlH on the stereoselectivities of the reduction with and without added cryptands, and with and without added alkyl fluoride and nitrile, were compared with ab initio calculations using the frontier orbitals of analogous carbonyl compounds to give energy values
