The asymmetric reduction of nine ketones to secondary alcohols using complexes of lithium aluminium hydride with simple glucose derivatives are described. About 20% selectivity was obtained with 3-O-benzyl-1,2-O-cyclohexylidene-α-D-glucofuranose; the selectivities with other glucose derivatives were considerably lower.
