Conclusions
-
1.
Whenα-dimethylaminoacetophenone andβ-dimethylaminopropiophenone are reduced by optically active organomagnesium compounds the asymmetric reduction proceeds with an optical yield of 65–70%.
-
2.
The absolute configuration for the obtained amino alcohols was proposed on the basis of the optical rotation dispersion data.
