Reduction of 2-alkyl-2-carbomethoxy-cyclopentanone derivatives with sodium borohydride. Part 2. The elucidation of the diastereoselective control
Teixeira, Lis H. P. Barreiro, Eliezer J. Fraga, Carlos A. M.
The synthesis and reduction of four new 2-substituted β-keto-ester derivatives (6-9) employing inexpensive sodium borohydride, were achieved to evaluate the diastereoselectivity of the reduction process of 2-allyl-2- carbomethoxy cyclopentanone derivative
Generation of Acyl Radical Equivalents by Cathodic Reduction of Acyl Tributylphosphonium Ions
Maeda, Hatsuo Maki, Toshihide Ohmori, Hidenobu
The species generated by one-electron transfer to acyl tributylphosphonium ions has proved to be potent acyl radical equivalents by the results that unsubstituted and 6-phenyl- substituted 5-hexenoic acids were transformed into cyclopentanones by the electrolysis in the presence of Bu3P in an undivided cell, although the yields were not satisfactory due to the formation of 5-hexen-1-als via further one-electron reduction of the radicals before their cyclization.
