The synthesis of a new class of bifunctional organophosphorus catalysts for the asymmetric borane reduction of prochiral ketones has been investigated. Keys to the architecture of effective catalysts are an oxazaphospholidine structural unit and a hydroxyaryl moiety. These (o-hydroxyaryl)oxazaphospholidine oxides have been successfully applied to the catalytic (2 mol-%) asymmetric borane reduction of numerous prochiral ketones with enantiomeric excesses up to 84% ee.
