Chiral oxazoborolidine borane complex was prepared from (αs, 4s)-2-dichloromethyl-4, 5-dihydro-α-(4-nitrophenyl)-4-oxazolemethanol with Borane in THF.

The borane modified by chiral oxazoborolidine enantioselectively reduced aromatic ketones to second-alcohol with about 95%yield and medium optical yields. In the end of article, results are discussed and reduction mechanism is shown which proves the resulting major isomers fit very well.展开更多

The influence of the reaction temperature as well as the effect of the structure of catalyst on the enantioselectivity was investigated. The origin of the products' configuration was discussed.展开更多

The incorporation of the ferrocenyl moiety into the molecule of the chiral amino alcohols greatly improved their enantioselectivity in the catalysis. The optically active secondary alcohols were obtained in moderate to good enantiomeric excesses and high chemical yields.展开更多
