A direct preparation of O-substituted hydroxylamines from alcohols is described by O-alkylation of tert-butyl N-hydroxy­carbamate with the methanesulfonates of respective alcohols, followed by acidic N-deprotection.

An organocatalytic β-hydroxylation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with commercially available (E)-benzaldehyde oxime gives the corresponding chiral carbonyl β-oxime ethers in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities. The chiral carbonyl β-oxime ethers can be reduced to the corresponding 1,3-diols in high yields.
