As. Demir et al., ENANTIOSELECTIVE REDUCTION OF KETONES WITH BORANE CATALYZED BY CYCLICBETA-AMINO ALCOHOLS PREPARED FROM PROLINE, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 7(12), 1996, pp. 3359-3364
New catalysts have been prepared from (S)- and (R)- proline and the as
ymmetric borane reduction of prochiral ketones using these catalysts h
as been studied. The secondary alcohols were obtained in 76-95% yield
with 57-96% enantiomeric excesses. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science
