Abstract

Various cyclic meso-imides have been desymmetrised via enantioselective reduction using two chiral oxazaborolidine catalysts derived from (1R,2S)-cis-1-amino-indan-2-ol followed by the reduction of the hydroxylactam product to give the γ-lactam. The enantiomeric excesses were shown to be 27-99% by chiral HPLC and chiral GC of the γ-lactam products with the nitrogen substituent playing a pivotal role in determining yield and selectivity. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
