A series of chiral bifunctional squaric prolinol ligands, having N, S substituents at C(3) of the squaric ring were synthesized and applied to the asymmetric borane reduction of prochiral ketones via an in situ formed chiral boron heterocycle, affording secondary alcohols with high yields and excellent enantiomeric excesses (up to 99%). The crystal structure of 5a was obtained and the mechanism of the catalytic asymmetric reduction is also discussed.

Two series of new chiral ligands, squaric acid aminoalcohols and C2-symmetric squaric acid diaminoalcohols have been synthesized. The chiral oxazaborolidines formed in situ from these ligands have been used in the enantioselective borane reduction of prochiral ketones and diketones to afford alcohol products with up to 99% enantiomeric excesses. The structures of the ligands have an obvious effect on the ee of the resulting alcohols.

Many chiral squaric acid aminoalcohols and C2-symmetric diaminoalcohols have been synthesized and their in situ formed chiral boron heterocycles have been used as catalysts for the enantioselective reduction of prochiral ketones and diketones by borane to give alcohols with up to 99% enantiomeric excess and 99% yield. The effects of solvent, catalyst-substrate ratio and temperature were also investigated.
