Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 2-chloro-3-oxohexanoate (194 mg), chlorobenzene (3 ml), RuCl[(S,S)-TsDPEN](p-cymene) complex (1 mol %) and triethylamine (5 equivalents) were mixed, and formic acid (3 equivalents) was gradually added thereto. The reaction was carried out at 40° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was analyzed. As a result, the conversion ratio was 100%, and the isomer ratio of (2S,3R):(2S,3S):(2R,3R):(2R,3S) is 63.7:24.9:4.1:7.3.
