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

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.60.395

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.
