Cam. Fraga et Ej. Barreiro, STUDIES TOWARD THE DIASTEREOSELECTIVE REDUCTION OF 2-ALKOXYCARBONYL-2-ALLYL-CYCLOPENTANONE DERIVATIVES WITH BORON HYDRIDES, Synthetic communications, 25(8), 1995, pp. 1133-1144
The reduction of 2-alkoxycarbonyl-2-allyl-cyclopentanone derivatives w
ith inexpensive boron hydrides were studied showing that this process
depend on chelation factors instead steric ones, affording the isomeri
c alcohols 2a and 3a with high diastereomeric excess.
