Abstract
AbstractAsymmetric reduction of ethyl benzoylformate were conducted using chiral NADH model compounds with various substituents at the 3‐ and N1‐positions of the dihydronicotinamide. In one case, in which l‐prolinamide resides at the terminal of the N1‐substituent, the optical yield was 90%; the remote asymmetric induction was ascribed to a stereospecific blockage of one of the diastereotopic faces in the dihydronicotinamide by an interaction of the amide functions with magnesium.
