Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0957-4166(00)80196-2

The in situ formed chiral oxazaborolidine catalysts from two optically active β-amino alcohols (S)-1 and (S)-2 from benzyl (S)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylate (S)-3 have been used successfully in the enantioselective catalytic homogenous bora
