A SELECTIVE 1,2-REDUCTION OF γ-AMINO-α,β-UNSATURATED ESTERS BY MEANS OF BF3·OEt2-DIBAL-H SYSTEM. HIGHLY VERSATILE CHIRAL BUILDING BLOCKS FROM α-AMINO ACIDS

Abstract
A combination of DIBAL-H with BF3·OEt2 has been demonstrated to be a promising agent for a selective 1,2-reduction of γ-amino-α,β-unsaturated esters, which, otherwise, is difficult to realize and provides the route to potent chiral building blocks from α-amino acids.
