M. Bandini et al., Design of boron bis-oxazolinate (B-BOXate) complexes: a new class of stable organometallic catalysts, CHEM COMMUN, (14), 2001, pp. 1318-1319
A new class of remarkably stable B-BOXate complexes has been synthesised, i
solated and employed as chiral catalysts for asymmetric reduction of variou
sly substituted prochiral ketones.
