ENANTIOSELECTIVE REDUCTION METHOD
-
Page 27, (2010/02/07)
The invention provides a method for enantioselectively reducing a prochiral carbon centred radical having one or more electron donor groups attached directly to the central prochiral carbon atom of the radical, and/or attached to a carbon atom within 1 to 4 atoms of the central prochiral carbon atom of the radical, said method comprising generating said radical from a radical precursor compound and reacting said radical with a chiral non-racemic organotin hydride in the presence of a Lewis acid and a co-reducing agent, wherein said co-reducing agent is capable of regenerating chiral non-racemic organotin hydride without substantially reducing said radical or said radical precursor compound.
