RESUMO
The application of helical poly[(S)-3-vinyl-2,2'-dihydroxy-1, 1'-binaphthyl] (L*) in the asymmetric borane reduction of prochiral ketones was studied. The results showed that L* had excellent catalytic activity as well as enantioselectivity, giving up to 96% yield and up to 99% enantiomeric excess (ee) of the corresponding secondary alcohol at 25 °C. Moreover, L* can be easily recovered and reused without loss of catalytic activity.
