Yj. Shi et al., AN IMPROVED METHOD FOR CHIRAL OXAZABOROLIDINE-CATALYZED REDUCTION OF 4-CHROMANONE ANALOGS AND MK-0499, Tetrahedron letters, 35(35), 1994, pp. 6409-6412
Addition of isopropanol to the stoichiometric reduction of ketones 4-8
using oxazborolidine-borane complex 3 or the oxazaborolidine-catalyze
d reduction of 4-chromanone analogs (1, 7-9) enhances the enantioselec
tivity of the reduction.
