Abstract

The enantioface-differentiating hydrogenation of methyl 3-oxoalkanoate (CH 3 (CH 2) n COCH 2 COOCH 3, n= 0, 6, 8, 10, 12) over the (R, R)-tartaric acid–NaBr–modified Raney nickel catalyst ((R, R)-TA–NaBr–MRNi) gave methyl (R)-3-hydroxyalkanoate (CH 3 (CH 2) n CH (OH) CH 2 COOCH 3, n= 0, 6, 8, 10, 12) in an average optical yield of 85%. After the methyl ester had been converted to dicyclohexylammonium salt of 3-hydroxyalkanoic acid ...
