Unusual diastereoselective reduction of 2-propionyl-3,3′,4,4′-tetramethyl-1,1′-diphosphaferrocene to the corresponding alcohol by BH3·Me2S. X-Ray diffraction and DFT study†
Abstract
It has been found that BH3·Me2S reduces stereoselectively 2-propionyl-3,3′,4,4′-tetramethyl-1,1′-diphosphaferrocene 1 to the corresponding
