Application

The CBS (Corey-Bakshi-Shibata) oxazaborolidine catalyst has been used in the asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones.[1][2][3] Other applications include the enantioselective synthesis of α-hydroxy acids,[4][5] α-amino acids,[6][7] C2 symmetrical ferrocenyl diols,[8] and propargyl alcohols.[9][10]
