supporting information; experimental part, p. 9555 - 9562 (2010/10/03)
The development and application of chiral, non-racemic ReV-oxo complexes to the enantioselective reduction of prochiral ketones is described. In addition to the enantioselective reduction of prochiral ketones, we report the application of these complexes to 1) a tandem Meyer-Schuster rearrangement/reduction to access enantioenriched allylic alcohols and 2) the enantioselective reduction of imines.

A ruthenium complex RuCl[(S,S)-Tsdpen](p-cymene) represented by a formula below and a ketone compound are placed in a polar solvent, and the resulting mixture is mixed under pressurized hydrogen to hydrogenate the ketone compound and to thereby produce an optically active alcohol:
A Practical Process for the Preparation of Tetrahydro-1-methyl-3,3-diphenyl-1H,3H-pyrrolooxazaborole-Borane. A Highly Enantioselective Stoichiometric and Catalytic Reducing Agent

A practical, large-scale process for the preparation of tetrahydro-1-methyl-3,3-diphenyl-1H,3H-pyrrolooxazaborole-borane is reported.The title compound is a stable, free-flowing crystalline solid useful either stoichiometrically or catalytically for the enantioselective reduction of prochiral ketones.When used stoichiometrically to reduce acetophenone the enantioselectivity is >= 99.8 percent ee.
