Abstract
The highly stereocontrolled enantioselective reduction of ketones in t he presence of catalytic amounts of new chiral (S)-beta-amino alcohols 1 and 2 with borane in THF at -78-degrees-C proceeds in high chemical and optical yields; secondary alcohols with the R-configuration are o btained in the presence of 1b, but secondary alcohols with the S-confi guration are obtained in the presence of 2a.
