Abstract

The intermolecular asymmetric reduction of methyl o-(1-oxoalkyl) benzoates with B- chlorodiisopinocampheylborane provides, after workup, 3-alkylphthalides in≥ 97% ee. Unfortunately, this procedure is not as efficient for the preparation of 3-arylphthalides. However, an intramolecular reduction of B-(o-benzoylbenzoyloxy) diisopinocampheylborane, readily prepared by the treatment of o-benzoyl benzoic acid ...
