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 effects. The regio‐ and stereoselectivity of the reductions are dramatically improved by the presence of magnesium perchlorate. This is interpreted in terms of a chelate complex formation between the carbonyl group, isoxazoline oxygen atom and magnesium ion. The presence of p‐toluenesulfonic acid (p‐TsOH) also improves the regioselectivity, but lowers the chemoselectivity.
