Asymmetric Iron‐Catalyzed Hydrosilane Reduction of Ketones: Effect of Zinc Metal upon the Absolute Configuration

Abstract

Eine Prise genügt: Der 1/FeCl2-Komplex katalysiert in Gegenwart von Zn die Hydrosilan-Reduktion von Ketonen zu den S-konfigurierten Alkoholen. Der Katalysator 1/Fe(OAc)2 liefert dagegen das R-Enantiomer. Auf diese Art sind beide Enantiomere mit einer einzigen Chiralitätsquelle durch Zugabe einer kleinen Menge Zn zugänglich.
