Description

Asymmetric reduction of ketimines 1a-f with trichlorosilane can be catalysed by the Lewis-basic N-methylvaline-derived formamide anchored to a soluble dendron (11c) with good enantioselectivity (<= 94% ee) and low catalyst loading (typically 5 mol%) at room temperature in toluene. This protocol represents an improvement and simplification of the isolation procedure and recovery of the catalyst.
