Abstract

The reduction of acetophenone over the heterogeneous catalyst NiB 2–0.1(oxazaborolidine) 0.1 by borane in THF at 273 K is quicker than in homogeneous phase. The catalyst presented high enantioselectivity (ee ≥90%) at low molar ratio provided the ketone was added very slowly to the catalyst and borane complex.
