Popis: Each of the two epimeric cyclopropylogous α-bromoketones 4 and 5 could be cleaved reductively with high diastereoselectivity to either (E)- or (Z)- 2,2-dimethyl-5-(1-propenyl)cyclohexanone (6 or 7, resp.), depending on the reducing agent employed (SmI2 or NaHTe). Thus, it was demonstrated that both reducing systems bring across the stereochemical information contained in the starting materials, albeit in an opposing and, therefore, complementary sense.
