Practical Enantioselective Reduction of Ketones Using Oxazaborolidine Catalysts Generated In Situ from Chiral Lactam Alcohols

Oxazaborolidine catalyst (CBS catalyst) has been extensively used for catalytic borane reduction with a predictable absolute stereochemistry and high enantioselectivity. However, the use of isolated CBS catalyst sometimes has the drawback of low reproducibility due to the aging of the CBS catalyst d...
