Catalytic Behavior of Optically Active Amino Alcohol–Borane Complex in the Enantioselective Reduction of Acetophenone Oxime O-Alkyl Ethers

Abstract
In the presence of the optically active amino alcohol–borane complex, an oxime ether was reduced with various hydride reducing agents to give a chiral primary amine of high optical purity. Catalytic use of the chiral complex was also investigated.
