Abstract
[reaction: see text] Aryl ketones were reduced to the corresponding alcohols with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99.7% ee) by Cl3SiH in the presence of a catalytic amount of N-formyl-alpha'-(2,4,6-triethylphenyl)-L-proline as an activator. Both carboxyl group at the alpha-position of the activator and 2,4,6-triethylphenyl group at the alpha'-position were critical for the high enantioselectivity.
