The influence of α-amido/thioamido functionality in ester reduction with sodium borohydride

Sodium borohydride in methanol smoothly reduces the esters of α-amino acids having N-acyl (orthioacyl)-N-alkyl (-NRCOR′ or -NRCSR′) substituents, producing amino alcohol derivatives. Esters with α-NHCOR or-CONRR′ functionality however remain unaffected. Electron-withdrawing property of the substituent appears to play a crucial role, anion formation with -NHCOR group perhaps diminishing its effect.
