Early organocatalytic asymmetric hydrosilylations of prochiral ketones, catalyzed by chiral Lewis bases, proceeded with low to moderate selectivity.[‌202‌–‌205‌] A more recently developed chiral 5-phenyloxazole derivative, N-formyl pipecolinic acid amide, and N-formyl-α′-(2,4,6-triethylphenyl)-(S)-proline (‌59‌) are all more selective.[‌171‌,‌206‌,‌207‌] The catalyst ‌59‌ is highly selective in the reduction of alkyl aryl ketones with trichlorosilane, producing the corresponding alcohols in up to 99.7% ee. Thus, acetophenone, 1-phenylpropan-1-one, and 1-phenylbutan-1-one, as well as ring-substituted acetophenones afford products of 93–97% ee (‌Scheme 43‌).
