Enantioselective reduction of ketones with triethoxysilane catalyzed by chiral bis-oxazoline titanium complexes
Abstract
Chiral bis-oxazoline titanium complexes [Ti(BOX)2X2] prepared from C2 chiral bis-oxazolines, BuLi and titanium salts, catalyze the enantiosective reduction of ketones in the presence of triethoxysilane.
