## Abstract The culture of __Nigrospora oryzae__ reduces twelve prochiral ketones of homo‐ and heteroaromatic type (acetophenone, 3‐ and 4‐methylacetophenone, 4‐nitroacetophenone, propiophenone, 2‐acetylnaphtha‐lene, 2‐acetyltiophene, 2‐ and 4‐acetylpyridine, __α,α,α__‐trifluoroacetophenone, α‐tetr

A chiral Ru(II) complex, RuCl[(S,S)-N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-1,2-diphenyl-ethylenediamine](p-cymene), serves as an efficient catalyst for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of 2-acetylpyridine with a substrate to catalyst molar ratio of 200-1000 with HCOOH as a hydrogen source to give (S)-1-(2-pyridyl)e
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
