M. Fujita et al., RELIABLE CHIRAL TRANSFER THROUGH THERMODYNAMIC-EQUILIBRIUM OF THE INTRAMOLECULAR MEERWEIN-PONNDORF-VERLEY REDUCTION AND OPPENAUER OXIDATION, Chemical communications, (17), 1997, pp. 1631-1632
Forward and reverse hydride transfer with rigorous diastereodifferenti
ation is attained using intramolecular Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduct
ion and Oppenauer oxidation of a 2-acetylphenyl ether containing an op
tically active 3-hydroxy-1-methylbutyl group.
