Chiral 1,3,2-oxazaborolidines in asymmetric synthesis: recent advances
Abstract
The use of chiral 1,3,2-oxazaborolidines in asymmetric organic synthesis, particularly, in enantioselective reduction of ketones, imines and oxime ethers, asymmetric Diels–Alder reactions, aldol condensation and atroposelective reduction of lactones is reviewed. Reactions of immobilised 1,3,2-oxazaborolidines are also considered. The bibliography includes 266 references.
