Sodium borohydride in combination with a catalytic amount of CoCl2 has been found to be an excellent catalytic system in reductive cyclizations of suitably substituted azido and cyano groups of α,β-unsaturated esters to afford γ and δ-lactams in high yields. The process has been demonstrated for the enantioselective synthesis of (R)-baclofen, (R)-rolipram, and (R)-4-fluorophenylpiperidinone, a key intermediate for (-)-paroxetine.

The mechanism of the electroreductive coupling of α-chloro esters or α-chloro nitriles with carbonyl compounds by the means of a sacrificial zinc anode and a nickel catalyst was elucidated by electroanalytical techniques.The mechanism involved reduction of a Ni(II) complex to a Ni(0) complex, oxidative addition of the α-chloro ester to the Ni(0) complex, and a Zn(II)/Ni(II) exchange, leading to an organozinc Reformatsky reagent.The electrosynthesis of various β-hydroxy esters, β-hydroxy nitriles, and 2,3-epoxy esters was successfully achieved under extremely mild conditions.
