Current trends in organicsynthesis show that asym-metric synthesis has become a primary focus of activity for many of the leading researchers in both the aca-demic and industrial worlds. 1 The tragedy of the thalidomide babies emphasized the importanceof achieving the synthesis of optically pure drugs. 2 Op-tical resolution as a method to prepare optically pure compounds is often uneconomical and impractical. Frequently the most desirable method for synthesizing optically pure materials is asymmetric synthesis. 3 A decade ago we initiated a program on asymmetric syn-thesis via chiral organoboranes derived from terpenes. 4 The program included asymmetric reduction, asym-metric synthesis via hydroboration, asymmetric allyl-and crotylboration, asymmetric enolboration, asym-metric ring opening of epoxides, and asymmetric ho-mologation.-Pinene and pinene-derived chiral auxi-
