A ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation method for the synthesis of functionalized β-aryl cyclohexanols is described. With chiral spiro ruthenium catalyst (Ra,S,S)-5c, a series of racemic α-aryl cyclohexanones bearing a β-monoethylene ketal group were hydrogenated to the corresponding functionalized β-aryl cyclohexanols in high yields with enantioselectivity of up to 99% ee via a dynamic kinetic resolution. This protocol can be conducted on a decagram scale and provide potential approaches for the synthesis of optically active and densely functionalized aryl cyclohexanols.

An efficient asymmetric synthesis of 1,2,3-trisubstituted cyclopentanes and cyclohexanes is described. Three methods were developed for the preparation of the 2,3-disubstituted cyclopentenones and cyclohexenones, which are key achiral building blocks. These intermediates are reduced catalytically with (R)-2-methyloxazaborolidine in high yield (82-98%) and excellent ee (89-96%). Directed reduction of the chiral allylic alcohols using Red-Al gives exclusively the 1,2-anti stereochemistry (>99:1). Epimerization of the ester center followed by saponification/crystallization affords the desired hydroxyacids in good yield (65-70%) and in high enantiomeric excess (>99%).
