β¦ Synopsis
A polymer-enlarged homogeneously soluble oxazaborolidine catalyst has been prepared and used in the enantioselective borane reduction of ketones. The catalyst is derived from (2S,4R)-ot,ot-diphenyl-2-[(4-allyloxy)-N-benzyloxycarbonyl]pyrrolidinemethanol 3 and a methyl hydrosiloxane---dimethylsiloxane copolymer 4 (15% functionalized). Enantioselective reduction of prochiral ketones to the corresponding chiral alcohols proceeds with enantiomeric excesses up to 98%. The catalyst can be retained by a nanofiltration membrane and thus could be recovered after reaction or used in a continuously operated membrane reactor. (~) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd

Two series of new chiral ligands, squaric acid aminoalcohols and C 2 -symmetric squaric acid diaminoalcohols have been synthesized. The chiral oxazaborolidines formed in situ from these ligands have been used in the enantioselective borane reduction of prochiral ketones and diketones to afford alcoh
