✦ Synopsis
Theor-oxoketene dithioacetals 1. are shown to undergo conjugate 1,4-reduction in highly regio-and chemoselective manner with sodium borohydride in acetic acid to afford the corresponding B-oxodithioacetals 5 in good yields. These results have been rationalized according to HSAB principle in terms of 'hard soft affinity inversion' concept. The reduction of 1 with sodium cyanoborohydride also proceeds in 1,4-conjugate addition-elimination manner to afford the corresponding vinylogous thiolesters 5 in good yields.

## Abstract The reduction of condensed imides 1 with sodium borohydride proceeds regio‐ and stereoselectively to yield the hydroxylactams 2, 3 and 4. AM1 calculations of the reactants and products reveal that the regiochemistry of the reductions seems to be controlled by both electronic and steric
