✦ Synopsis


Optically pure B-hydroxysulfoximines were treated in toluene solution at -789~ with 2 equiv. of gaseous d i borane. The resulting borane complexes were used to reduce prochiral ketones at -78°C; alcohols with optical purities ranging from 3 to 82% were obta i ned .

New catalysts have been prepared from (S)-and (R)-proline and the asymmetric borane reduction of prochiral ketones using these catalysts has been studied. The secondary alcohols were obtained in 76-95% yield with 57-96 % enantiomerie excesses.
