The influence of electronic effects and temperature on the enantioselective reductions of acetophenone derivatives with (−)-diisopinocampheylchloroborane - a dynamic model of enantioselection

The asymmetric reduction of acetophenone derivatives with (−)-diisopinocampheylchloroborane, with respect to temperature and different electronic situations present in the carbonyl group, has been investigated.

Summary:The asymmetric reduction of acetophenone derivatives with (−)-diisopinocampheylchloroborane, with respect to temperature and different electronic situations present in the carbonyl group, has been investigated. The temperature dependence of enantioselectivity reveals that enantioselection is not the result of a one-step-process. Together with the subtle electronic effects observed a dynamic selection model takes shape. Electronic effects and temperature dependence of enantioselectivity in asymmetric reductions of acetophenone derivatives with (−)-Ipc 2BCl show that selectivity is the result of a two-step process.
