The title chiral hydride was found to reduce various achiral cyclic ketons, giving the corresponding optically active cyclic (R)-alcohols in high optical (73-98percent) yields.The development of the improved chiral hydride and some characteristics of the reagent are also described.Keywords - asymmetric reduction; lithium aluminium hydride; (-)-N-methylephedrine; 2-alkylaminopyridine; 2-cyclohexen-1-one; achiral cyclic ketone; optically active cyclic alcohol
