Abstract
The novel dimethoxyl(aminoalkoxy)borate 1 was isolated as a white crystalline dimer joined by H-bonding as evidenced by X-ray analysis, and demonstrated to be a highly effective catalyst for the asymmetric reduction of representative prochiral ketones with borane-DMS. Optically pure alcohols were obtained using only 1 mol% of catalyst 1 in up to 99% ee.Entities:
