A series of alkyl 4-dialkylaminophenyl ketones were prepared and reduced asymmetrically by borane under the chiral oxazaborolidine catalysis. The results indicate that the ketones show a more obvious subsfituent effec...
The quantum chemical method is employed to study the enantioselective reduction of imine with borane catalyzed by chiral oxazaborolidine. All the structures are optimized completely at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The ca...
Two new type of 1,3,2-oxazaborolidines were prepared from (Is,2s)-2-amino-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-propane-1-3-diol and were used as catalyst in the asymmetric reduction of acetophenone. The influence of the reaction tempera...
By means of 1H, 13C, 11B NMR, polar transfer DEPT135, DEPT90 and 2D NMR experiments, IR, etc, the structure of the diaminodihydroxyl ligand and its derivatives used in the asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones wer...
Two new chiral oxazaborolidine derivated from L-cystine have been used to catalyze the enantioselective reduction of prochiral ketones and the secondary alcohols are obtained with good to excellent opitical yields.
