1a (0.25 mmol), 11 (0.375 mmol), and 0.50 mmol Me(MeO)2SiH in 0.5 mL of toluene. In all cases, a single diastereomer of 12a and 13a was obtained (1H NMR spectroscopic analysis). See the Supporting Information for additional details.
Determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy on the unpurified reaction mixture using dimethylfumarate as standard.
Value determined by chiral HPLC analysis.
Er of 13a was 50:50.
Using 10 equiv of silane.
2 equiv of t-BuOH added.
PhCF3 used as solvent.
Propiophenone (8b) used in place of 8a.
Value for 12b.
Ratio of 12b:13b.
