In the present paper, the ab initio molecular orbital method is employed to study the structures of the adducts of borane and aromatic ketone to chiral cyclic sulfur-containing oxazaborolidine used as a catalyst in the enantioselective reduction of aromatic ketone. The catalyst-borane-ketone adducts
