A novel chiral bipyridine ligand bearing a flexible side chain with a molecular recognition site enables precise stereocontrol through the cooperative action of metal center and hydrogen bonds. This new chiral ligand was applied to the copper-catalyzed as

A highly chemo- and enantioselective hydrogenation of β-diketones was achieved by using [Ru(benzene)(S)-SunPhosCl]Cl for consistency in THF. The neighboring heteroatoms played important roles in guaranteeing the reactivity and controlling the chemoselectivity. These results suggested a potential approach for the clean and facile synthesis of functionalized chiral β-hydroxy ketones, which could otherwise be prepared through much less step-economic transformations.

Regio- and stereo-selective reduction of substituted 1,3-aryldiketones, investigated in the presence of different whole cell microorganisms, was found to afford β-hydroxyketones or 1,3-diols in very good yields (up to 95%) and enantiomeric excesses (up to 96%). The enantiomerically enriched aldols, obtained with the opposite stereo-preference by baker's yeast and Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 20016 bioreduction, could then be diastereoselectively transformed into optically active syn- or anti-1,3-diols by a careful choice of the chemical reducing agent (diastereomeric ratio up to 98 : 2). The latter, in turn, were stereospecifically cyclized into the corresponding oxetanes in 43-98% yields and in up to 94% ee, thereby giving a diverse selection of stereo-defined 2,4-disubstituted aryloxetanes.
