ethyl 7-(N-t-butoxycarbonylamino)-3-oxo-2-phenylheptanoate → ethyl 7-(N-t-butoxycarbonylamino)-3-hydroxy-2-phenylheptanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The same procedures as in Example 14 were performed except that 0.1 g (0.28 mmol) of ethyl 7-(N-t-butoxycarbonylamino)-3-oxo-2-phenylheptanoate, 6.2 mg (0.0056 mmol) of [RuI(p-cymene)(S)-BINAP]I, 9.2 g (0.028 mol) of BSA, and 2 ml of methanol were used. The yield of the product was 65.3% and the ratio of the syn-form to the anti-form was 56.5:43.5.
