A series of propanones containing combinations of aryloxy and alkoxy substituents at the 1- and 3-positions were reduced to the alcohols via asymmetric transfer hydrogenation using a tethered Ru(II)/TsDPEN catalyst. The enantioselectivities of the reductions reveal a complex pattern of electronic and steric effects which, when used in a matched combination, can lead to the formation of products of up to 68% ee (84:16 er) from this highly challenging class of substrate.

The total synthesis of the cyclobutane prostaglandin analogues (4) and (5), and their subsequent conversion to the γ-lactones (6) and (7), γ-lactam (8) and cyclopentanone (9) is described.The cornerstone of the synthetic strategy is the intermolecular 2+
