Potassium borohydride, Potassium tetrahydroborate
Name Reactions
Recent Literature
A catalytic enantioselective 1,2-reduction of enones with potassium
borohydride is catalyzed by a chiral N,N'-dioxide-Sc(III) complex
catalyst under mild reaction conditions. A number of optically active allylic
alcohols were obtained in very good enantioselectivities with nearly
quantitative yields.
