β¦ Synopsis
The 4-aryl-3,4-dihydrocoumarin 1 is a critical intermediate in the synthesis of two endothelin receptor antagonists. Asymmetry is introduced by the chiral catalytic hydrogenation of 2. Reduction occurs only if the lactone is open (3). A number of chiral ruthenium and rhodium organometallic species are evaluated as catalysts. The reaction is optimized to produce 1 in high yield and ee.
