Does anyone have a good review of the Corey-Bakshi-Shibata reaction? I am having trouble finding a review that includes the alpha-ketoacids. I have found a paper (see attached) that details the use of Ipc2BH as a stereoselective reductant giving 77% ee.
The compound I am trying to do reduce is alpha-ketoglutarate.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Cheers!!
