G. Di Maio et al., pi-face diastereoselection: stereochemistry and reactivity of reduction reactions on conformationally rigid substrates: 5-X-adamantan-2-ones and trans-10-X-decal-2-ones, TETRAHEDRON, 57(34), 2001, pp. 7403-7407
Stereochemistry and relative rates k(ax) and k(eq) of reduction reactions o
n title compounds have been measured under four different reaction conditio
ns (NaBH4 in i-PrOH, LiBH4 and NaAlH4 in THF and LiAlH4 in Et2O). Reaction
sensitivities show that the Group III element has a prominent role in deter
mining the structure of the transition state shape. (C) 2001 Elsevier Scien
