There is provided a process for the reduction of one or more amide moieties in a compound comprising contacting the compound with hydrogen gas and a transition metal catalyst in the presence or absence of a base under conditions for the reduction an amide bond. The presently described processes can be performed at low catalyst loading using relatively mild temperature and pressures, and optionally, in the presence or absence of a base or high catalyst loadings using low temperatures and pressures and high loadings of base to effect dynamic kinetic resolution of achiral amides.

Described herein are multi-functionalized hollow fiber organocatalysts, processes for producing multi-functionalized hollow fiber organocatalysts, and processes that utilize multi-functionalized hollow fiber organocatalysts for reacting chemicals. A variety of chemical reactions may be enhanced with the multifunctional hollow fiber organocatalysts. The multi-functionalized hollow fiber organocatalysts are particularly advantageous when used as heterogeneous organocatalysts and continuous-flow reactors.

wherein, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 are hydrogen or hydroxy protecting groups; R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are the same or different and are phenyl, alkyl or substituted phenyl. In the preparation process of hexahydrofuro-furanol derivatives, the chirality is constructed by enzymatic method, and the product can be prepared with very high optical purity by adopting such technical means. The preparation method can be used to prepare the key intermediate, (3R, 3aS, 6aR)-hexahydrofuro[2,3-b]-3-ol, of Darunavir, in commercial production, which is a very economical route suitable for industrial production.
