title: Enantioselective reduction of C=N double bond by chromium(II) complexes of natural amino acids.
abstract: Asymmetric reduction of oximes was performed by chromium(II) complexes of natural amino acids in aqueous phase or in H(2)O/DMF (1:1) solvent. Medium-to-quantitative chemoselectivity (54% to >95%) and low-to-medium enantioselectivity (5-50% ee) were found.
