【 摘 要 】

The importance of chiral alcohols as starting materials for the production of fine chemicals and as useful chirons for the building of several interesting molecules or natural products is reported. The useful and common methods of asymmetric reduction such as the chemical (with organoboron or organoaluminum reagents) and the catalytic ones (with ruthenium or rhodium complexes) for preparation of chiral alcohols are described; even the newer and much more rare electrocatalytic methods are reported.
