Phm. Delanghe et M. Lautens, EFFECT OF THE SUBSTITUENTS ON THE DIASTEREOSELECTIVITY IN THE REDUCTION OF CYCLOPROPYL KETONES, Tetrahedron letters, 35(51), 1994, pp. 9513-9516
The reduction of several cyclopropyl ketones with hydride reagents was
studied. High diastereoselectivities (15 to 20 : 1) were obtained wit
h cis-cyclopropyl ketones, while virtually no facial selectivity was o
bserved for the trans-analogues.
