Abstract

Borane-dimethyl sulfide complex has proven to be an efficient and selective reducing agent in the presence of catalytic sodium tetrahydroborate for α-hydroxy esters as exemplified in the reduction of dimethyl (S)-(−)-malate, providing the versatile chiral building block of four- carbon backbone.
