✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The effect of borane source on enantioselectivity in the enantiopure oxazaborolidine‐catalyzed asymmetric borane reduction of ketones has been investigated by using (S)‐3,1,2‐oxazaborobicyclo[3.3.0]octane and (S)‐7,3,1,2‐thiaxazaborobicyclo[3.3.0]octane as catalysts. The results indicate that the enantioselective order of different borane sources is borane–dimethyl sulfide < borane–N,N‐diethylaniline < borane–THF for the asymmetric reduction of a ketone under the same conditions. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
