Abstract

The Mg(ClO~4~)~2~โ€induced reduction of racemic benzoin by the racemic NADH model compound 3โ€(dimethylcarbamoyl)โ€1,2,4โ€trimethylโ€1,4โ€dihydropyridine (1), in accordance to Cram's rule, leads exclusively to mesoโ€1,2โ€diphenylโ€1,2โ€ethanediol. However, while Rโ€1 equally reduces 5โ€benzoin to afford mesoโ€1,2โ€diphenylโ€1,2โ€ethanediol, Sโ€1 is reluctant to react with Sโ€benzoin. The intermediacy of a strictly organized transition state, composed of chelated substrate, dihydropyridine and magnesium ion is involved.

In the reduction of ketones with NADH mimics, (Ss)-l-substituled 3-(p-tolylsulfinyl)-1,4-dihydropyridines 1, the stereospecific transfer of one of the C-4 hydrogens, which is syn to the S-O bond, was experimentally revealed to be involved by employing the 2-methyl derivative 2 and the 4-deuterated d
