✦ Synopsis
In the presence of titanium tetrachloride, the borane/tetrahydrofuran complex can reduce 2-methyl-3-oxoamides into the corresponding syn-aminols in good yields and high diastereoselectivity. The use of borane/dimethyl sulfide instead of BH 3 /THF allows a partial reduction to syn-b-hydroxyamides.
