Stereo- and Chemo-Selectivity in reduction of α-alkyl Aryl Ketones with Metal Hydrides

Metal hydride reduction of a variety of α-alkyl aryl ketones gives a mixture of threo- and erythro-β-aryl-β-hydroxyalkyl phenyl(or methyl)selenides by carbonyl reduction and 1-aryl-1-alkanol by the substitution of a phenyl(or methyl)seleno group with hydrogen.With all metal hydrides examined the formation of the threo-isomer always predominated.The addition of various metal chlorides in the reduction of various α-heteroatom (N, P, O, S)-substituted ketones.

NOVEL PHOTOREDUCTIVE ALKYLATION OF METHYL 4-PHENYLBENZOATE WITH ALIPHATIC TERTIARY AMINES

A photoinduced electron-transfer reaction of methyl 4-phenylbenzoate with triethylamine leads to an aminoketone (4), and a photoreductive ethylation product (2) which results from the Norrish Type II reaction of the aminoketone.
