Abstract
Selective reductions of organic compounds, such as carbonyl compounds and imines, using a system composed of Cp2MoH2 and acids are examined. This system can reduce the substrates under mild conditions. Extremel y high diastereoselectivity was achieved in the reduction of 4-t-butyl cyclohexanone. The reactivity of imines depends on their structure. Ar omatic imines are found to be more reactive than aliphatic imines. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
