Abstract
The chiral dihydropyridine (+)-(II) reduces the ketones (I) in the presence of magnesium perchlorate to give the optically active alcohols (S)-(III).
ChemInform Abstract
The chiral dihydropyridine (+)-(II) reduces the ketones (I) in the presence of magnesium perchlorate to give the optically active alcohols (S)-(III). Similarly, the imine (V) is converted into the secondary amine (VI).
