Ketones are not reduced rapidly by either borane-THF or the oxazaborolidine alone but together they form a complex which reduces ketones rapidly and stereoselectively, permitting reduction with very high ee in the presence of a catalytic amount of the oxazaborolidine: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 109, 7925 (1987).
