Abstract

Asymmetric reduction of homobenzylic ketones was achieved through the use of chiral spiroborate ester catalyst. The catalyst is applicable for both analytical and industrial purposes since it is not sensitive to air and moisture. A rapid synthetic route has been developed for the preparation of (S)-2-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran via enantioselective reduction of homobenzylic ketone in the presence of a chiral spiroborate catalyst as the key step.
