Enantioselective reduction of ketones with optically active 2,2′-diamino-6,6′-dimethylbiphenyl-lithium aluminum hydride complex

Abstract

Enantioselective reductions of prociral ketones with chiral hydride reagent prepared from optically active 2,2′-diamino-6,6′-dimethylbiphenyl and lithium aluminum hydride were accomplished in O.Y. more than 50%.
