Abstract
Andrographolide (1) on asymmetric reduction with nickel boride in situ led to the identification of a product as 12,13 R-dihydroandrographolide (3) in de (>96%). The structure and stereochemistry of compound 3 were established by NMR study and confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. β-Substituent of γ-butyrolactone in andrographolide exerted diastereomeric selectivity in reduction. Neoandrographolide (2) under similar condition yielded 5.
