Chiral Aminoalcohols and Squaric Acid Amides as Ligands for Asymmetric Borane Reduction of Ketones: Insight to In Situ Formed Catalytic System by DOSY and Multinuclear NMR Experiments

A series of squaric acid amides (synthesized in 66–99% isolated yields) and a set of chiral aminoalcohols were comparatively studied as ligands in a model reaction of reduction of α-chloroacetophenone with BH<sub>3</sub>•SMe<sub>2</sub>. In all cases, the aminoalcohols demons...
