Aspects of stereocontrol in the L-Selectride reduction of 4-acyl-1,3-dioxolane derivatives

The application of L-Selectride, either alone or in combination with ZnCl2, to aryl ketones 1, 8 and 11 resulted in highly anti-stereoselective reduction. In contrast, lactols 22 and 23 gave a moderate syn-preference using L-Selectride alone and a high syn-preference in the presence of ZnCl2. Unique...
