ASYMMETRIC REDUCTION OF PROCHIRAL KETO ESTERS WITH A CHIRAL REDUCING AGENT PREPARED FROM TIN(II) CHLORIDE, CHIRAL DIAMINE, AND DIISOBUTYLALUMINUM HYDRIDE

Abstract
Asymmetric reduction of prochiral keto esters with a reagent, generated by treatment of a mixture of tin(II) chloride and a chiral diamine derived from (S)-proline with diisobutylaluminum hydride, afforded the corresponding optically active hydroxy esters.
