Easily available D-(+)-camphor-derived chiral mercapt\*alcohols 2 and 3 were employed for catalytic asymmetric borane reduction of aromatic ketones. Moderate enantioselectivities with e.e. 20.2-72.1% were obtained with 10 mol% catalyst. Opposite asymmetric induction was achieved' when mercaptc-alcoh

## Abstract Synthesis of several new chiral phosphinamide catalysts with a proximal hydroxyl group from Lβserine was described. These compounds have been successfully used in the asymmetric catalytic borane reduction of prochiral ketones. The optically active secondary alcohols were obtained with a
