【 摘 要 】

The importance of chiral alcohols as starting materials for the productionof fine chemicals and as useful chirons for the building of several interestingmolecules or natural products is reported. The useful and common methods ofasymmetric reduction such as the chemical (with organoboron or organoaluminumreagents) and the catalytic ones (with ruthenium or rhodium complexes) for preparationof chiral alcohols are described; even the newer and much more rare electrocatalyticmethods are reported.
