Die stereospezifische Reduktion von (1R)-3-endo-Aminocampher zu (1R)-3-endo-Aminoborneol

The highly stereospecific reduction of (1R)-3-endo-aminobornan-2-one ( 2 ) to 1R]-3-endo-amino-2-endom-bornanol ( 1 ) is described. This reaction is achieved by using alkylaluminumdichlorides, a new group of reducing agents for the reduction of the ketone 2 to the secondary alcohol 1
