Asymmetric Reduction of Chiral Pyruvamide with Sodium Borohydride

Several amides of pyruvic acid with (S)-amines were reduced with sodium borohydride (NBH) in several alcohols and N--(S)-amines were obtained in excess.When the reductions were carried out in methanol or ethanol in the presence of metallic sa

ASYMMETRIC HYDROGENATION OF CHIRAL PYRUVAMIDES

Asymmetric catalytic hydrogenations of three kinds of chiral pyruvamides were carried out using palladium on charcoal as a catalyst to give lactamides with diastereomeric ratios ranging from 76:24 to 98:2.
