ASYMMETRIC REDUCTION OF PROCHIRAL KETONES WITH A CHIRAL REDUCING AGENT PREPARED FROM STANNOUS CHLORIDE, CHIRAL DIAMINE AS A LIGAND, AND DIISOBUTYLALUMINUM HYDRIDE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1984.2071

A new chiral reducing agent, prepared by treatment of a mixture of stannous chloride and a chiral diamine derived from (S)-proline with diisobutylaluminum hydride, is effective for asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones.
