Hydroxy-directed ketone reduction. Application to the synthesis of (+)-8,8a-diepicastanospermine

Abstract

Reduction of heterocyclic-derived aldol adducts 2 and 3 using NaBH(OAc)3 is stereoselective and proceeds via a hydroxy-directed mechanism to give 6 and 7, respectively, thereby complementing the stereoselectivity available with NaBH4; a synthesis of (+)-8,8a-diepicastanospermine 11 from diol 6 is described.
