High 1,6-Diastereoselectivity in the Hydride Reduction of an Acyclic Ketone Substrate via Bicyclic Chelation Control.

-Reduction of the .epsilon.-hydroxyketone (I) with (R)-Alpine hydride provides the corresponding diol (II) with strong preponderance of the anti-diastereomer. The high degree of stereoselectivity is attributed to bicyclic chelation control of hydride addition. The degree of stereoselectivity depends on the distance between the hydroxyl and amine groups (cf. (I)/(III)) and decreases by methylation of the free hydroxy group in (I) (cf. (IV)). -(
