Enhanced asymmetric induction in cycloadditions to bridgehead-chiral vinyl dioxazaborocines

Vinyl dioxazaborocines 5 with asymmetric centres on the nitrogen bridgehead substituent have been prepared and assayed in nitrile oxide and nitrone cycloadditions, giving asymmetric inductions of up to 70 and 74% ee, respectively. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

ASYMMETRIC REDUCTION OF KETONES USING LiAlH4 MODIFIED WITH CHIRAL 1,2-AMINODIOLS

Four chiral aminodiols from ring opening of (S)-propylene oxide and ethylene oxide with n-butylamine and (R) or (S)-α-methylbenzylamine were used to modify LiAlH4.Asymmetric reduction of acetophenone and propiophenone gave the highest percent enantiomeric
