Abstract
Some readily available chiral diols from indene and d-mannitol were investigated as chiral modifiers in lithium aluminum hydride reduction of ketones, and it was discovered that further modification of these reducing reagents by a simple a-amino alcohol resulted in a remarkable increase in optical yield. Among the investigated chiral modifiers, chiral diol gave the highest enantioselectivities.
