Abstract
The rates of the asymmetric borane reduction of prochiral ketones cata lyzed by oxazaborolidines were found to substantially accelerate in th e presence of organoaluminum compounds. The enantioselectivities of th e reactions were relatively unaffected. Copyright (C) 1996 Published b y Elsevier Science Ltd
