In this paper, the authors described a new method for the catalytic enantioselective reduction of ketones to chiral secondary alcohols, where the stoichiometric reagent in the reduction is borane and the catalyst is a chiral oxazaborolidine such as 1 (0.05-0.1 molfmol of ketone).Abstract:
We have recently described a new method for the catalytic enantioselective reduction of ketones to chiral secondary alcohols.' The stoichiometric reagent in the reduction is borane (usually 0.6 molfmol of ketone), and the catalyst is a chiral oxazaborolidine such as 1 (0.05-0.1 molfmol of ketone). Excellent enantioselectivities, easy recoverability of the chiral catalyst predecessor, near quantitative yields, short reaction times (a few minutes at 23 \"C), and predictability of the absolute configuration of the product contribute to the outstanding utility of this (CBS') process. This paper reports several subsequent developments in this area with respect to improved practicality and important applications. In contrast to 1 which is both air and moisture sensitive, the B-methylated oxazaborolidine 2 can be stored in closed containers at room temperature and weighed or transferred in air. Catalyst 2 is also much more easily prepared than 1. Reaction of (S)-read more

Molecular Mechanisms of Cellular Responses to DDAVP
TL;DR: Its variable effects between individuals and within the same individual receiving repeated treatments and unknown mechanism of action have hindered the adoption of DDAVP on a more widespread basis even within the patient populations for which its use has been indicated.

Selectivity in synthesis — chemicals or enzymes?
TL;DR: A characteristic feature of recent developments in organic synthesis is an emphasis upon selectivity, and developments of protecting-group chemistry have led to efficient procedures for the specific synthesis of oligo-nucleotides.

Totalsynthese des marinen Naturstoffs 7‐Desoxyokadasäure, eines starken Inhibitors der Serin/Threonin‐spezifischen Proteinphosphatasen
TL;DR: Eine nur kleine Veranderung an der Struktur von Okadasaure 1, das Fehlen der Hydroxygruppe an C7, fuhrt zum praparativ erheblich besser zuganglichen Derivat 7-Desoxyokadasure 2.
