Abstract

The catalytic reduction of acetophenone, methyl α-acetamidocinnamate, and dimethyl itaconate with alcohol-modified sodium borohydride was studied in the presence of complexes CoCl2·L2 (L2 are chiral C 2-symmetric diamines: (4S,5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(aminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane, (4S, 5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(methylaminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane, (4S, 5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(dimethylaminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane, and (4S, 5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylaminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane). The maximum enantiomeric excess of (S)-1-phenylethanol was 24%, that of dimethyl α-methylsuccinate was 38%.
