Abstract
Pyridine-borane, which was readily prepared from pyridine hydrochloride and sodium borohydride, reduced oximes to the corresponding hydroxylamines in good yields with simple procedure. Other functional groups (ester, nitrile, nitro, amide, and halide) present in the same molecule of oximes were not reduced by this reagent.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
