The synthetic utility of amine borane reagents in the reduction of aldehydes and ketones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)71448-1

Primary and secondary amine boranes have been shown to be mild, efficient, and stereoselective reducing agents for aldehydes and ketones in protic or non-protic solvents with reactivity patterns different than diborane or sodium borohydride.
