For the enantioselective borohydride reduction of aliphatic ketones, the optically active ketoiminatocobalt(II) catalysts was successfully designed based on their axial ligand. Instead of chloroform for the aryl ketone reduction, various axial ligand precursors were examined for the aliphatic ketone. Consequently, 1, 1, 1-trichloroethane was found to be the most effective activator of the cobalt(II) complexes to generate the corresponding 1-chlorovinyl cobalt(III) derivatives as the reactive intermediate. Several aliphatic ketones were successfully reduced to afford the corresponding secondary alcohols with high enantioselectivities.

Aliphatic ketones were reduced to the corresponding secondary alcohols by using anti-1,3-diol and a catalytic amount of 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (DNBSA) in benzene at reflux. Addition of 1-octanethiol in that media improved the efficiency of the reduction. Asymmetric reduction of aliphatic ketones was performed by using chiral anti-pentane-2,4-diol, and highly asymmetric induction (up to >99% ee) was observed in the reduction of tert-alkyl ketones. Asymmetric reduction of acyl silanes using chiral anti-pentane-2,4-diol and DNBSA proceeded efficiently in the absence of octanethiol and the corresponding α-silyl alcohols were obtained in high yields with high ees.
