Abstract

The scope and mechanism of enantioselective hydride transfer from NADH model 4 to prochiral C=O and C=N compounds were investigated. Efficient chirality transfer from 4 to a-keto esters and a-methoxycarbonylimino esters was achieved. The resemblance in reactivity and stereochemistry of the prochiral C=O and C=N-CO2Me functionalities in the hydride transfer reaction is attributed to the intervention of a similar Mg(ClO4)2-mediated ternary complex.
