The configurations at the new chiral centres in 2b4b were R. The diastereoisomeric S-alcohols (2c-4~) were obtained from the R isomers by a modified Mitsunobu reaction.

β¦ Synopsis
2-Alkyl-3-oxo amides were reduced to the corresponding syn-2-alkyl-3-hydroxy amides with high stereoselectivity by zinc borohydride. In the search for new stereoselective reducing agents, T. Nakata and T. .ll Oishi found that the reduction of 4-unsaturated (phenyl or carbon-carbon double bond) 2-alkyl-3-oxo esters with Zn(BH4)2 in ether gave syn-2-alkyl-3-hydroxy esters almost exclusively. 2) They suggested that the high stereoselectivity of the reaction may be due to the conformational fixation by six-membered chelate ring formation which was promoted by the enhanced donating ability of a conjugated 3-0x0 group. 3) In fact, the reduction of the saturated analogues did not give good selectivity. 11
