The reaction pathway around the complete catalytic cycle for THF-borane reduction of propanone catalysed by the oxazaborolidine from (S)-proline has been determined by AM1 semiempirical MO calculations, including characterisation of all transition structures; the transition structure for ketone coordination is almost as high in energy as that for the rate-limiting hydride-transfer step, and the calculated kinetic isotope effect for reduction by THF-[H-2(3)]borane is in accord with experiment.
