✦ Synopsis
Oxime ethers of acetophenone, isopropyl methyl ketone, and tert-butyl methyl ketone were reduced to the corresponding hydroxylamine ethers of 45-94% ee with borane-oxazaborolidine 1 derived from (-)-norephedrine. A one-pot reduction of acetophenone oxime with 1 to 1-phenylethylhydroxylamine of 87% ee is described. The reduction of 6-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine and N-methylimines of the above mentioned ketones with borane-B-methyloxazaborolidine adduct 2, derived from (-)-diphenylprolinol, gave the corresponding amines of 40-74% ee.

## Abstract A group of α‐ and β‐__N, N__‐dialkyl amino ketones were reduced enantioselectively by 2 moles of borane‐tetrahydrofuran in the presence of 10 mol% of the __in‐situ__ formed chiral oxazaborolidine, followed by diluted hydrochloric acid. The resulting amino alcohol‐borane complexes were t
In the present work, quantum chemical computations of the enantioselective reduction of keto oxime ether with borane catalyzed by chiral oxazaborolidine are performed by means of the Hartree-Fock and the density functional methods. The structures of oxazaborolidine, oxazaborolidine-borane adduct, an
