Reductions with sulfurated borohydrides. IV. Reduction of oximes

Abstract
Sulfurated sodium borohydride can reduce oximes to the corresponding amine with yields depending on the steric requirement of the oxime. Intermediate hydroxylamine can be obtained predominantly under appropriate experimental conditions. A reaction mechanism taking into account the availability of only one hydrogen for reduction on the hydride and the production of intermediate hydroxylamine is proposed.
