Highly diastereoselective BH3/THF syn-reduction of the 3-hydroxy-1,3-diphenylpropan-1-one/BBr3 complex 3/BBr3 (cf. Sarko) afforded the meso-diol 4, whereas racemate 5 was obtained by BH3/THF reduction without complexation. Mesylation, exchange of mesylate by azide, and reduction with SnCl2/thiophenol led to the diamines 10 and 11 which were also produced by reductive N-N cleavage of the 4,5-dihydropyrazole 13.
