π-Facial diastereoselection in reductions of sterically unbiased ketones containing the norbornyl framework: further tests for theoretical models
Abstract
Ketones 3a–c exhibit syn-face selectivity in borohydride reduction; MNDO and ab initio calculations on model and realistic transition states, respectively, reproduce the preference, but differ on the role of electrostatic and orbital effects.
