The first enantio- and chemoselective Br?nsted-acid catalysed reduction of α-keto esters with catecholborane has been developed. The α-hydroxy esters were obtained under mild reaction conditions in virtually quantitative yields and excellent enantioselectivities. With slight modifications both enantiomers can be obtained without any loss of selectivity. This journal is the Partner Organisations 2014.
