A General and Simple Diastereoselective Reduction by L-Selectride: Efficient Synthesis of Protected (4S,5S)-Dihydroxy Amides

A general approach to (4S,5S)-4-benzyloxy-5-hydroxy-N-(4-methoxybenzyl) amides 10 based on a diastereoselective reduction of (5S,6RS)-6-alkyl-5-benzyloxy-6-hydroxy-2-piperidinones 6 and their tautomeric ring-opened keto amides 7 is described. The reduction with L-Selectride at -20 °C to room tempera...
