P. Gartner et al., Lithium tri-sec-butylborodeuteride: a new reagent for the stereoselective deuterium addition to cyclohexanones with single chair conformations, ARKIVOC, 2, 2001, pp. 1162-1173
The preparation and application of a new reagent for stereoselective deuter
ium addition to substituted cyclohexanones is described affording cyclohexa
nols with axial hydroxy group with high stereoselectivity. The results are
compared with other established reduction methods.
