The synthesis of 1,3,2-thiazaborolidine and 2,3-dihydro-2,1,3-borathiazolidines from reaction of ephedrine disulfide and 3,4-dimethyl-5-phenyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione with BH 3 -THF is reported. The two reactions afforded optically active borohydride heterocycles. The X-ray diffraction structure of (1 R ,2 R )-(−)-chlorodeoxy- pseudo -ephedrine hydrochloride, (1 R ,2 R )-(−)-thiosulfonic d deoxy- pseudo -ephedrine and (3 S ,4 R ,5 R )-(+)-dihydro-3,4-dimethyl-5-phenyl-2,1,3-borathiazolidine are reported. Synthesis of three optically active borohydride heterocycles 1 (X= CH 3 , H) and 2 and the X-ray diffraction structure of (1R, 2R)-(−)-chlorodeoxy- pseudo -ephedrine hydrochloride and (1R,2R)-(−)-thiosulfonic deoxy- pseudo -ephedrine and (3S,4R,5R)-(+)-2,3-dihydro-3,4-dimethyl-5-phenyl-2,1,3-borathiazolidine are reported.
