Cycloahphatic amine synthesis routes may be described as distinct synthetic methods, though practice often combines, or hybridi2es, the steps that occur amination of cycloalkanols, reductive amination of cycHc ketones, ring reduction of cycloalkenylarnines, nitrile addition to ahcycHc carbocations, reduction of cyanocycloalkanes to aminomethylcycloalkanes, and reduction of nitrocycloalkanes or cycHc ketoximes.

The strategy for the asymmetric reductive acylation of ketones was extended to ketoximes (Scheme 9). The asymmetric reactions of ketoximes were performed with CALB and Pd/C in the presence of hydrogen, diisopropylethylamine, and ethyl acetate in toluene at 60° C for 5 days (Table 20) In comparison to the direct DKR of amines, the yields of chiral amides increased significantly. Diisopropylethylamine was responsible for the increase in yields. However, the major factor would be the slow generation of amines, which maintains the amine concentration low enough to suppress side reactions including the reductive aminafion. Disappointingly, this process is limited to benzylic amines. Additionally, low turnover frequencies also need to be overcome. 

In 1994, the scope of this p-hydroxy sulfoximine ligand was extended to the borane reduction of ketimine derivatives by these workers. The corresponding chiral amines were formed with enantioselectivities of up to 72% ee, as shown in Scheme 10.57. It was found that the A -substituent of the ketimine had a major influence on the asymmetric induction, with a ketoxime thioether (SPh) being the most successful substrate. 

The conversion of nitroalkanes to ketoximes can be achieved by the reduction with Zn in acetic acid,112 or Fe in acetic acid.113 Nitroalkenes are direcdy reduced into saturated ketoximes by these reagents, which are precursors for ketones (see Section 6.1.4 Nef reaction). Reduction of 3-O-ace-ty lated sugar 1 -nitro-1 -alkenes with Zn in acetic acid gives the corresponding 2,3-unsaturated sugar oximes in high yield, which is a versatile route to 2,3-unsaturated sugar derivatives (Eq. 6.58).114... 

Ketoximes and oximes of 2-oxo-acids are hydrogenated to amines by [CoH(CN)5]3-. The latter reaction allows the preparation of a-amino-acids by reductive amination of 2-oxo-acids in aqueous ammonia. At 40-50 °C and 70 bar H2 the yields are ca. 90% [146]. 

The present preparation illustrates the general method for the synthesis of aziridines by reduction of ketoximes 4 having an aromatic ring attached to carbon a or /3 to the oximino function and of aldoximes 4 having the aromatic ring attached to the carbon atom j3 to the oximino group. It has also been applied... 

Similarly the reduction of both aldoxime and ketoxime gives again primary amines.

An early approach to the formation of chiral amines by nonenzymatic asymmetric synthesis was the reduction of prochiral ketoximes and their O-tetrahydropyranyl and O-methyl derivatives with lithium aluminum hydride-3-0-benzyl-1,2-0,0-cyclohexylidene-a-D-glucofuranose complex (16)33 in ether and prochiral ketoximes... 

Substantially higher enantioselectivities were achieved by reduction of the O-alkyl derivatives of prochiral ketoximes with borane (BH3) and chiral auxiliaries prepared... 

In the asymmetric reduction of ketones, stereodifferentiation has been explained in terms of the steric recognition of two substituents on the prochiral carbon by chirally modified reducing agents40. Enantiomeric excesses for the reduction of dialkyl ketones, therefore, are low because of the little differences in the bulkiness of the two alkyl groups40. In the reduction of ketoxime ethers, however, the prochiral carbon atom does not play a central role for the stereoselectivity, and dialkyl ketoxime ethers are reduced in the same enantiomeric excess as are aryl alkyl ketoxime ethers. Reduction of the oxime benzyl ethers of (E)- and (Z)-2-octanone with borane in THF and the chiral auxiliary (1 R,2S) 26 gave (S)- and (R)-2-aminooctane in 80 and 79% ee, respectively39. 

In an attempt to prepare alkylamines by asymmetric reduction of imines with chiral hydride reagents, diphenylphosphinyl imines (38), prepared by reaction of ketoximes (39) with chlorodiphenylphosphine [(Cg 115)2 PCI], were reduced in the presence of a variety of chiral aluminum and boron hydride reagents43. Among the most promising reagents was BINAHL-H44 (40), a chiral hydride compound prepared by the modification of lithium...

Reduction of ketoximes is one of the most useful ways to primary amines. 

Reduction of cyclohexanone oxime with lithium aluminum hydride in tetra-hydrofuran gave cyclohexylamine in 71% yield [809], and reduction of ketoximes with sodium in methanol and liquid ammonia [945] or in boiling ethanol [946] afforded alkyl amines, usually in good to high yields. Stannous chloride in hydrochloric acid at 60° reduced the dioxime of 9,10-phenanthra-...
