Abstract

The enantioselective reduction of substituted fluorenones by aluminium lithium hydride in the presence of different chiral amino alcohols has been investigated. The best conditions found were also assayed with a multi-substituted fluorenone achieving the corresponding fluorenol compound with high enantiomeric excess. Shorter reaction times with high conversion yields were found when compared with borane reductions.
