Ad. Borthwick et al., AN EFFICIENT SYNTHESIS OF A CHIRAL CARBOCYCLIC 2'-DEOXYRIBONUCLEOSIDESYNTHON BY DIRECTED REDUCTION, Tetrahedron letters, 35(41), 1994, pp. 7677-7680
Directed reduction of the 1,4 hydroxy-ketone 9 and the 1,4 aldehydo-ke
tone 12 with NaBH(OAc)(3) gave stereoselectively in high yield the 1,4
diol 10, a key intermediate required in our synthesis of chiral carbo
cyclic 2'-deoxyribonucleosides.
