The enantioselective reduction of α‐hydroxy ketones with catecholborane has been developed employing 5 mol% of an 1,1′‐bi‐2‐naphthol (BINOL)‐derived ion‐pair organocatalyst. This methodology provides a straightforward access to the corresponding aromatic 1,2‐diols in high yields (up to 90%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97%). Furthermore, the α‐amino ketones also could be reduced with

2-萘酚(BINOL)衍生的离子对有机催化剂对
儿茶酚硼烷对α-羟基酮的对映选择性还原。该方法可直接获得相应的芳族1,2
-二醇,且收率很高(高达90%),对映选择性极好(高达97%)。此外,在温和的反应条件下,中等ee值也可以还原α-
氨基酮。
