The catalytic asymmetric reduction of -keto aldoxime O-methyl, O-benzyl, and O-trityl ethers, derived from substituted acetophenones, with borane/oxazaborolidines, by transfer hydrogenation, and with yeast, was studied. The reduction with borane/oxazaborolidines produced the corresponding -hydroxy oxime ethers, -hydroxy hydroxylamine ethers, and -amino alcohols in 39-78% yields and up to 77% ee. The carbonyl group was selectively reduced by transfer hydrogenation with formic acid-triethylamine catalyzed by RhCl[(R,R)-TsDPEN](Ce, and also with yeast, producing -hydroxy oxime ethers, up to 75% ee and 93% ee, respectively.
