(Chemical Equation Presented) An asymmetric synthesis for the preparation of nonracemic amines bearing heterocyclic and heteroaromatic rings is described. A variety of important enantiopure thionyl and arylalkyl primary amines were afforded by the borane-mediated enantioselective reduction of O-benzyl ketoximes using 10% of catalyst 10 derived from (S)-diphenylvalinol and ethylene glycol with excellent enantioselectivity, in up to 99% ee. The optimal condition for the first asymmetric reduction of 3- and 4-pyridyl-derived O-benzyl ketoxime ethers was achieved using 30% of catalytic loading in dioxane at 10°C. (S)-N-ethylnornicotine (3) was also successfully synthesized from the TIPS-protected (S)-2-amino-2-pyridylethanol in 97% ee.

Asymmetric reduction of arylalkyl and pyridylalkyl ketoxime ether with borane catalyzed by several chiral spiroborates derived from non-racemic 1,2-amino alcohols are presented. Complete conversion of oxime to primary amine is highly dependant of the catalyst, source and amount of borane and temperature. The conversion and enantioselectivity is determined by the benzylic substitution of the oxime. After optimization, a catalyst derived from diphenyl valinol could, successfully, afford primary amines with good yield and enantioselectivity up to 99% ee. Using the developed methodology, other related non-racemic primary pyridyl alkyl methanamines were also prepared in high chemical yield and excellent enantioselectivity.
