Notizen:
A number of 3-O-substituted 1,3-dihydroxypropan-2-ones have been synthesized in view of their potential use as prochiral precursors of optically active glycerols. Indeed, the oxo-ethers have been reduced to the corresponding 3-O-substituted glycerols via chiral Ru complexes derived from (S)-binap, ( =(-)-(S)-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthalene) with enantiomeric excesses up to 93%. The steric course of the catalytic reduction appears to be essentially dependent on the steric encumbrance of the substituents; indeed, a dramatic increase of the enantiomeric excess is observed when the bulky trityl group is substituted by the less encumbering benzyl or octadecyl groups.
