12 - 129Stereoselective Hydrocoupling of [(1R)-exo]-3-exo-(Diphenylmethyl)bornyl Cinnamates by Electroreduction. —The chiral auxiliary (I) is effective for the stereoselective hydrocoupling of itscinnamates by electroreduction. From the resulting hydrodimers (VII) thediaryldiols (IX) and diesters (XI) are synthesized in good enantioselectivity.— (KISE, NAOKI; IWASAKI, KEISUKE; TOKIEDA, NAOHIKO; UEDA,NASUO; Org.
