Abstract

Results As shown by representative examples in Table 11, the reduction of oxime ethers gave good to excellent yields of the corresponding amines. The alkoxy portion of the ethers was reduced to the corresponding alcohol. For instance, 0-benzylheptanal oxime (7) gave benzyl alcohol and heptylamine in yields of 95.2 and 97.870, respectively.
