The "B spectra of 3a, b show a signal at 6=41.9 (61,2=479 Hz), and in addition, a signal at 6= -3.73 in the spectrum of 3b for [BPh41Q.The 'H N M R spectrum of 3a exhibits a doublet at 6=7.65 for the olefinic protons, for which the coupling constant (13JpHI = 16.7 Hz) is on average 11 Hz greater than for 2.13]This points to the greater s-character of the boronphosphorus bond in 3. Due to the BN n-bond, the two iPr groups of the N(iPr)2 unit are inequivalent. An X-ray structural analysis also confirms the ionic structure of 3b in the solid state (Fig. la).['] The cation has approximately DZd symmetry (Fig. lb). The C2BzP rings are planar (maximum deviations from the best planes 0.008 and 0.019A) and lie perpendicular to each other (90.9"). The phosphorus atom has distorted tetrahedral coordination, for which the B-P-B angle inside the ring is considerably less (93-94") than that between the rings (1 16-1 19"), but 4-5" larger than in 2,5-dihydro-2,5-bis(diisopropy1amino)- 1H , 1,2,5-pho~phadiboroIe.[~] The bond lengths are in good agreement with those of the P-phenyl substituted C2BzP derivatives,"] although in these compounds the ring is not planar.

Despite the variation of these parameters, the range of functional groups that can be reduced by metal borohydrides is very limited. We now report a method which makes it possible also to reduce amino acids, carboxylic acids, amides, nitriles, nitroalkenes, and sulfoxides with alkali metal borohydrides in good yields. We found that the addition of Me3SiC1 makes possible the reduction of a-amino acids with LiBH, in T H F (Nos. 1-4 in Table 1). When optically pure a-amino acids were used, optically pure @-aminoalcohols were obtained. This inspired us to investigate the use of LiBH,/Me,SiCI as a reducing agent for other functional groups. Thus, simple carboxylic acids are reduced to alcohols (No. 5), while primary, secondary and tertiary amides (Nos. 6-8) and nitriles (Nos. 10-12) afford the corresponding amines. High yields were obtained in all cases. Dimethyl sulfoxide was reduced to dimethyl sulfide (No. 9), the dipeptide derivative Fmoc-L-Phe-L-Ala-OMe (No. 14) gave the corresponding amino alcohol, and N-benzyloxycarbonyl-6-amino-1hexanol was converted into 6-amino-I-hexanol (No. 15). Similar results were obtained with NaBH, (Nos. 6, 8,9, 11, 12, 14 and 15 in Table 1). Because of its good solubility in T H F and the milder reaction conditions, LiBHJ6] is, however, the reducing agent of choice. The strength of this new system is demonstrated by the smooth reduction of the nitrostyrene derivative (No. 13) on a preparative scale (100 mmol) to afford the corresponding amine. Other methods for the reduction of conjugated nitroalkenes, such as LiAIH4 reduction or catalytic hydrogenation, are unsatisfactory; far better results have been obtained using diborane in the presence of NaBH,"] or BF, .OEt2.'" We suggest that in reductions using LiBH4(NaBH4)/ Me3SiC1 in THF, a borane T H F complex is formed [Eq. (a)] which, with the assistance of excess Me,SiCI, acts as the reducing agent. LiBH, + Me3SiC1 LiCl + Me,SiH + BH3.THF (4 The addition of Me,SiCI makes it possible to carry out reductions with LiBH4 or NaBH, which are either very slow o r d o not occur in its absence. The reaction mechanism, the use of other alkylhalogenosilanes,'9] and the suitability of the method for other functional groups remain to be investigated. Typical procedures Me&H is formed in all reactions. It should therefore be ensured that this volatile silane (b.p. 10°C) can escape from the reaction vessel."" - ['I Dr. A. Giannis, Prof. Dr. [**I K.

Wolfgang HoNa* Glycals and their esters are versatile chiral building blocks.[’I They can be obtained in good yields from the corresponding saturated carbohydrates;[’] however, because of their overfunctionalization with hydroxyl groups and because of the absence of strategically valuable functional groups such as C=C and C=O bonds, these are in many cases unsuitable for direct conversion into the target molecules. The directed chemical linkage or transformation of glycals such as la and lb at the hydroxyl groups usually requires tedious, multistep protection and deprotection procedures. Regioselective acetylations of D-glucal la and D-galactal lb and deacetylations of the triacetates 5c, 5d have so far never been reported.[31This prompted us to investigate lipase-catalyzed acetyl transfer reactions [Eq. (a)-( c)].[~] + y R‘COOR” +Gly(OCOR’),(OH), + x R’COOH +Gly(OH),(OCOR’), + yR”0H + yR’COOCH=CH2 +Gly(OH),(OCOR‘), Gly(OCOR’),+, Gly(OH), +y Gly(OH),+, +xH~O + yCH3CHO In the present communication we report some novel, efficient and facile enzymatic syntheses of partially protected as well as fully hydroxyl-differentiated glucals and galactals. Of primary interest was the realization of enzymatic transacetylations in nonaqueous organic media. Reversible transesterifications [Eq. (b)], however, generally result in unsatisfactory conversions. This problem can be overcome by using vinyl esters[51[Eq. (c)]. An especially suitable reagent for irreversible enzymatic acetyl transfer is the inexpensive vinyl acetate 2. For carrying out the reactions the glycals are either stirred with the enzyme in pure 2 at room temperature or are previously taken up in small amounts of a cosolvent and finally treated with 2 and the lipase (Table 1). The enzymes employed are commercially available lipases from Candida cylindracea (LCC) and Pseudomonas fluorescens (P).[“’ Especially suitable for the selective acetylation of the primary hydroxyl groups of la and lb are the Candida lipases (Scheme 1, Table 1). Thus, the reaction of la in 2/ethyl acetate in presence of the lipase O F afforded, in 24 hours, 6-O-acetyl-~-glucal3a in 90% yield. The galactal derivative 3b was obtained by dissolving lb in a little water, addition of 2 and lipase S-VII, and 1’1 Dr. E. W.

The lipaseP-catalyzed ester cleavage in weakly buffered solution without pH-control affords 4,6-di-O-acetyl-~-glucal6c in 90% yield. In the case of the tri-0-acetyl-D-galactal 5d, on the other hand, the formation of a complex mixture of 6d and several di- and monoacetates is observed. For the synthesis of completely hydroxyl-differentiated glycals we investigated the enzymatic transfer of benzoyl and chloroacetyl groupsLs1by using vinyl esters 7 and 9 , respectively (Scheme 2, Table 2). Lipase AY-20 and, contrary to expectation, lipase P are suitable for the selective benzoylation of the 6-hydroxy groups of la and lb with 7. With tetrahydrofuran or water as cosolvent, the monobenzoates 8a,b are obtained in about 70% yield.[’] Regioselective chioroacetylation of 3a,b and 8a,b with 9/lipase P and acetylation of 8a,b with 2Aipase P gave the completely differentiated glycals lOa,b, lla,b, and 12a,b in good yields.“”’ 0570-0833/89/0202-0220 $ 02.50/0 Angew.
