Stereoselectivity in the birch reduction of 2-furoic acid derivatives
The preparation and Birch reduction of chiral 3-methyl-2-furoic acid derivatives is described. Using a Ca symmetrical amine as a chiral auxiliary, very high levels of sterochemical control could be obtained. Moreover, the auxiliary could be removed conveniently by heating in 6M HCl to liberate a car...
