The reduction of 2- and 3-keto esters in the presence of (+)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diol results in considerably higher stereoselectivities (95 % ee). Enantiometric excess (ee %) was determined by H-1 and C-13 NMR analyses using a shift reagent, Eu(tfc)(3).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessReductionEnantiometric excessKeto hexadecanoatesArticle25315311535Q4WOS:0003126214000802-s2.0-84875182054Q4
